Bug 51184 Fonts on Preference Pages
Reported: 2004-02-04 12:43:30 | Status: resolved fixed

Eclipse 3.0 M6. The following preference pages do not inherit their font settings from their parent Composite. Of course, this could be by design, but I doubt it. You can see this by changing the Dialog Font preference (Workspace > Fonts) from the default, 8 points, to something big such as 16 points. Next time you open the preferences you'll see that most other pages respect the Dialog Font setting. The offenders are as follows: Java > Code Formatter - Preview text area. Java > Code Formatter (WIP turned on) - Preview text area. - Dialog that opens after Clicking the "Edit..." button. Java > Editor > Syntax tab - Preview text area. Java > Editor > Templates - Preview text area. Java > Work in Progress - The whole page. There are other preference page offenders in Platform and Team, for which I'll submit individual bug reports.
