I\'m wondering if I can change default encoding in NetBeans 8.0... I searched a lot but I haven\'t find a way how to change the encoding in this version of NetBeans.

I had the problem with a cyrillic characters (russian and ukranian letters) in netbeans 8.1 for Ubuntu 14.04. I have fixed problem like @Rex Wagenius adviced + I had to change a font of netbeans (in main menu: Tools -> Option -> Fonts&Colors -> Syntax tab -> Font changed from Courier to Serif 20). Hope this answer will be helpful for some users with the same problem.
