Great!  Glad you got it sorted.  That'll be this I guess -
https://github.com/apache/netbeans/blob/master/platform/o.n.swing.plaf/src/org/netbeans/swing/plaf/AllLFCustoms.java#L105

There's some code that skips that on GTK.  We should look at whether
we can just pass the font size into FlatLaf to let it handle this.
Mind you, also noticed according to
https://github.com/apache/netbeans/blob/master/platform/o.n.bootstrap/arch.xml#L685
that --fontsize is deprecated anyway!  Maybe we should just warn
whenever it's set?

Best wishes,

Neil
