Bug 77321 StyledText's font appears inconsistent with GC.drawString(..) font
Reported: 2004-10-29 14:17:18 | Status: resolved fixed

TextConsoleViewer (org.eclipse.ui.console plugin) uses GC.drawString(..) to change the color of an active console hyperlink. On mac this appears to change the fonts character spacing (ie the same string takes up more space). Code was just released to HEAD today. Please see TextConsoleViewer.paintControl(..) Will attach screen shot.
