NetBeans Output Window Font Too Small? Now It's Easy to Change!

Ctrl=, Ctrl-- or Ctrl-mousewheel

In a fit of pique this evening, I added a much requested feature to the NetBeans output window: Actions for Larger Font and Smaller Font on the popup menu - or you can just Ctrl-mousewheel to rapidly change the font size.

Font changes affect all open output windows, and persist across sessions.

It just seemed silly to have this issue sitting open for so long. Now we'll see if anyone gets upset with me, since I haven't actually been the owner of the output window code in years. :-)

why you didn't do the same feature for the NetBeans editor?

Great work, this will be very helpful. I was also wondering if it would be possible to change the font of the output window. Right now it uses the default monospace font in fontconfig.properties but it would be nice to configure the Output window font in the Options dialog
