Did this work correctly in an earlier version?

What font is configured in Tools -> Options -> Fonts and Colors. I use Haskling, but the Ubuntu Terminal font is also a a good alternative.

i use "Source Code Pro Medium 14" and the example word you posted is rendered correctly for me. Some linux distributions have extra font packages for mono-spaced coding fonts.

tengo el mismo problema ..... en la pestaña run ,,,, no me aparecen los acentos .... mi sistema operativo es windows 11

@mbien , @matthiasblaesing with any Font configured the problem persist. I've donwloaded "Source Code Pro" too and the problem continue. I'm thinking the origin is another thing.

what is your output for:

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println(Runtime.version());
        System.out.println();
        System.out.println("Charset.defaultCharset(): " + Charset.defaultCharset());
        System.out.println("file.encoding property:" + System.getProperty("file.encoding"));
        System.out.println("native.encoding property:" + System.getProperty("native.encoding"));
        System.out.println("sun.jnu.encoding property:" + System.getProperty("sun.jnu.encoding"));
        System.out.println("stdout.encoding property:" + System.getProperty("stdout.encoding"));
        System.out.println("sun.stdout.encoding property:" + System.getProperty("sun.stdout.encoding"));
    }

what happens if you create a new text file with netbeans, then paste your sample String into the file?

Out:

Runtime: 17.0.12+7-Ubuntu-1ubuntu222.04

Charset.defaultCharset(): UTF-8
file.encoding property:UTF-8
native.encoding property:UTF-8
sun.jnu.encoding property:UTF-8
stdout.encoding property:null
sun.stdout.encoding property:null

New files, same problem.

[mbien]

hmm. everything is UTF-8 (which is to be expected on linux), which is good and newly created files have the same problem too. Can't come up with a cause for this right now outside of font problems - but you mentioned you swapped the font already too.

You could try JDK 21 from a different vendor (e.g temurin, zulu, oracle or corretto builds) to exclude this as a potential cause. To test this you could extract a JDK somewhere (without installing) and pass it as --jdkhome <path> option to the netbeans launcher (or update it in the etc/netbeans.conf file).

[frizquierdo]

@mbien Thank youu!!, with openjdk-21 the problem was solved!!!!

[mbien]

@frizquierdo this JDK is from the ubuntu repository too? I am asking since it sometimes happens that packages itself contain bugs. Thats why it can be useful to check the same version but from a different vendor.

But good to know that it is working for you now

[frizquierdo]

@frizquierdo this JDK is from the ubuntu repository too? ...

Yes, it's from ubuntu (jammy) repository, openjdk-21-jdk package.
