i'm using inconsolata for my monospaced fonts on ubuntu 10.10.

i recently installed netbeans 6.9.1 and was wondering why Inconsolata doesn't appear in the editor font list under Tools / Options.

Any instruction how can i use Inconsolata on netbeans 6.9?

Thanks

On the Windows platform, NetBeans seems to be able to pick up new fonts installed into the OS without any user action on the NetBeans side. :-/ There is a font.properties file for NetBeans somewhere, but I was under the impression that it was only used to map logical font names to a different physical font. Maybe you can try mapping Mono to that physical font. Also, sometimes a font's physical name is somewhat different than its "common" name. Maybe NB lists it that way. Did you scroll through the list completely looking for a reference to it under a modified name? – RobertB
