How to increase font size in NeatBeans IDE

Question

I just bought a new monitor that s rather large and I am having a lot of trouble reading the text on my editor  I tried increasing the font size the usual way by going to  Tools    Options    Fonts  amp  Colors    Clicking the       button next to font    and then choosing a large font size  This is the result   click for full size     As you can see the cursor becomes a lot larger but the font size remains the same  Does anyone know another way to effectively increase font size in NetBeans

To increase the font size of netbeans 7 3 1 and 7 3   you go from menu  Tools  Options   Fonts  amp  Colors   is an inner menu in the dialog window of Options   At the  Syntax  tab  every entry in the  Category   list-box  you will notice that the font has the value  Inherited   If you find in the  Category  list-box the entry with the name  Default  and change the font value of that  you will affect the font size of your editor  because everything is inherited from  Default  entry     Another method  is to increase temporary the font of the editor by a combination of keys  To find what are the keys go to the  Options  dialog window by  Tools   Options and then choose the  Keymap  menu entry and then in the  Search  textbox type  zoom text  and it will show you what combinations of keys for zooming in  out   for example mine is the combination of  alt  key   mouse wheel up down

you might also want to change your font size for other parts of the IDE  other than the code      Just add the parameter --fontsize  lt size gt   default size is 11  to the startup command   You can put it into the command line when launching IDE  You can also put it into the netbeans conf file  which is in the  etc subdirectory of NetBeans installation    Just place it as a last parameter into the netbeans default options parameter

Literally NONE of these worked for me  I am using NetBeans 11 1 on Linux  I found the solution by searching the Options menu  The issue was the IDE Theme- which has an  quot Override quot  font size   Tools  gt  Options  gt  Appearance  gt  Darcula Look And Feel Uncheck  quot Override Default fonts by   Dialog 10   quot   OR increase the override font to a bigger size  Hit OK Exit and restart NetBeans   Your environment preferences should be saved for future NetBeans sessions
