- Attached the Support Package via Help > Support Package
- Checked the FAQs: https://github.com/constellation-app/constellation/wiki/FAQ
- Checked that your issue isn’t already filed: https://github.com/constellation-app/constellation/issues
- Checked that there is not already a module that provides the described functionality: https://github.com/constellation-app/constellation/wiki/Catalogue-of-Repositories

Description

Under Setup > Options > Constellation > Application Font, there are options to change the Default Font and Default Font Size. If I change these options they do not apply to the Application Tabs as per the screenshot below. This means that the user doesn't have a mechanism to increase the font size of the Tabs.

Steps to Reproduce

Setup > Options > Constellation > Application Font and change the default font size to be larger and a different font
Close and reopen Constellation
Check the impact of the changes- The Application tabs have not been updated

Expected behaviour: The application Tabs font size and type changes for the tabs

Actual behaviour: Remain the same

Reproduces how often: 100%

Additional Information

When the font size is changed in Windows settings or the display text, this does not change the size of the text on on the tabs, See the below screenshot. This means the user doesn't have the ability to change the text size here and for visually impaired people this could be a problem.

If you pass it via a command line arguement like below or update etc/constellation.conf to include the fontsize it will work.

./constellation/bin/constellation --fontsize 30

Below is an exaggeration showing it working for font size 30.

Investigated further and the issue appears to be a bug introduced in NetBeans 12 where the menus do not respect font changes. From my research there appears to be no way of changing the menu fonts via the code and appears to only work via command line or changing the NetBeans config file. Some helpful resources:
