There is an issue with the code editor (from version 11 til 22)where Arabic characters do not display correctly. Specifically, if the font used in the editor does not support Arabic characters, they appear as squares. This behavior is different from other editors like IntelliJ IDEA, where Arabic characters display correctly even if the font does not support them (e.g., using JetBrains Mono).
Just like so:
for instance copy this text and paste it: إجمالي العوائد
Language / Project Type / NetBeans Component
No response
How to reproduce
Arabic characters should display correctly regardless of the font's support for Arabic, similar to behavior in VS Code & IntelliJ IDEA
Did this work correctly in an earlier version?
No / Don't know
Operating System
Manjaro Linux
JDK
All of JDK versions, jdk8 to jdk22
Apache NetBeans packaging
Apache NetBeans provided installer, Apache NetBeans binary zip
Apache NetBeans version
Apache NetBeans 22
