Netbeans 8.2 not displaying Hermit Font Properly

Question

My favorite programming font is Hermit . I have installed this font successfully. In my Sublime Text 3, this font is being displayed properly, but when I set it in Netbeans 8.2 its not displaying properly...it is cutting the lower part of letters like 'P','g',..etc. See below:

What is wrong and how can I solve it?

I was unable to install the font from your link on Windows 10, but I managed to get this issue resolved using the variant of Hermit font named Hurmit .

After installing Hurmit on Windows 10/NetBeans 8.2 the font rendered like this:

It's still not quite right for 'g' and 'p', but a bit better than yours. However, the rendering is fine when using the Nightly Development build version of NetBeans :

This is how I installed Hurmit :

• Download Hurmit Medium Nerd Font Complete Windows Compatible.otf from https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/tree/master/patched-fonts/Hermit/Medium/complete

• Double-click that downloaded OTF file, then click the Install button to install the font in C:\\Windows\\Fonts .

• Reboot Windows, then set Hurmit as the default font in NetBeans using Tools -> Options -> Fonts & Colors .

Even if you are using Linux you should still be able to use the non-Windows flavor of Hurmit. Whether you can live with the Dev version of NetBeans is another matter, but it is working fine for me.
