After updating ubuntu to 12.04 all fonts got bold. I haven't installed themes or configured fonts.

from netbeans about:

Product Version: NetBeans IDE 7.1 (Build 201112071828)

Java: 1.7.0_03; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 22.1-b02

This question should instead be filed as a bug report, and as such is off-topic, thanks! Instructions here. – jrg♦ Apr 27 '12 at 1:41

add '--laf Nimbus' at the command. Netbeans will look a little different but the fonts will look like before. Your Command: /bin/sh "/home/whatever/netbeans-7.1.2/bin/netbeans" --laf Nimbus – Costis Aivalis May 9 '12 at 20:10

Use another JVM, such as OpenJDK or Sun Java 6. At least fonts won't stay bold. – Leonardo Montenegro May 2 '12 at 14:29
