The work arround of mjreged, works, the bold fonts only show with Ubuntu
Font, you need change the fond, I change to Droid Sans Font.

$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface document-font-name 'Droid Sans 11'
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface font-name 'Droid Sans 11'
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface monospace-font-name 'Ubuntu Mono 12'
$ gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.desktop font 'Droid Sans 11'
$ gconftool --set /apps/metacity/general/titlebar_font 'Droid Sans Bold 11' --type STRING

And add on netbeans-7.x/etc/netbeans.conf

-J-Dswing.aatext=true -J-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on

on property "netbeans_default_options"

netbeans_default_options="-J-client -J-Xss2m -J-Xms32m
-J-XX:PermSize=32m -J-Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true
-J-Dapple.awt.graphics.UseQuartz=true -J-Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true
-J-Dsun.zip.disableMemoryMapping=true -J-Dswing.aatext=true
-J-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on"

Title:
  Fat fonts in Swing applications

Status in “openjdk-7” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Since I upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04 I noticed that the fonts in Java
  Swing applications use the bold font weight. This looks really ugly
  and takes up to much space.
