How to increase font size in NeatBeans IDE?

Question

I know this isn't a programming related question but if I ask this at superuser I bet I will get 0 answers since that crowd is unlikely to use programming software. So I rather ask here where people actually use this IDE. Please don't close the question or move it elsewhere.

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 & Colors >> Clicking the "..." button next to font >> and then choosing a large font size

This is the result:

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?

Answer 1

Tools >> Options >> Fonts & Colors >> Syntax tab. Select 'Default' from the Category list and click the ... button like you said.

It's the Default you need to select first before changing the size.
