I am using FlatLaf. 1) Changing the font in Cinnamon had no effect on NetBeans. This implies that FlatLaf is not using the system default.
2) Before posting in the FlatLaf forum, I tried playing around with customizing the ~/.netbeans/26/config/LookAndFeel/FlatLaf.properties file which is opened by clicking the Tools > Options > Appearance > FlatLaf > "Edit custom properties" button. I added the lines shown below and restarted NetBeans but it had no effect. Either I have the syntax wrong or there might be a bug somewhere that is preventing FlatLaf from reading that file. defaultFont = 24 "Open Sans", "Noto Sans", Roboto, Arial, Monospace Tree.font = 30 Any further ideas?
