Bug 88191 [Preferences] Temporary shell created in PreferenceConverter
Reported: 2005-03-16 11:21:54 | Status: verified fixed

org.eclipse.jface.preference.PreferenceConverter has this code to set its default font data: Shell shell = new Shell(); FONTDATA_ARRAY_DEFAULT_DEFAULT = shell.getFont().getFontData(); shell.dispose(); Rather than creating an extra Shell, is it not sufficient to use display.getSystemFont() ?
