As of M3, changing the Text font in preferences no longer has any effect on my
editor plugin if the editor was ever opened before the font was changed. Since I
have no code whatever that deals with font changes and this was working prior to
M3, it is likely to be some side effect of the new font propagation work, where
the old style of font propagation has stopped working.

Still broken in M4.

To be clear about this, if the default Text font is changed after a plugin
editor has been opened, the font in the open editor is not affected. Restarting
Eclipse is required to change the font in the editor.

Wrong. In M3, it was just propagation that was affected. In M4,
AbstractTextEditor appears completely unaffected by the selection of Text font;
it seems to always use the font that Use Default Font would select. This is
pretty much unusable.

This bug description is bogus. I figured out what really happened and filed a
more appropriate bug report as 28922. Don't know if bugzilla will let me do
this, but since it's my report, I have tried to mark this as a duplicate.
