20021115 The dialog font is not honoured by the Install/Update preference page. Preference pages have the dialog font set as the font of the control sent to createContents - you can just copy the font from the parent to the children you create. Other dialogs can get it by calling JFaceResources.getDialogFont().
Font of Field Editors cannot be changed. @@@@ todo: AppServerPreferencePage#createFieldEditors() -- fonts setzen MainPreferencePage#createFieldEditors() -- fonts setzen
Font propogation has been added to field editors.
public static applyDialogFont(Control control) has been added to Dialog. This can be called to apply the dialog font to the tree of a control whose font is the default font. I could not hook this up by default because it causes some layout problems on many of the pages and dialogs we have if it is called after widget creation as sizing is frequently done in the creation code. We do not wish to generate any layout problems by the addition of this API. I have also changed initializeBounds to use the dialog font for the calculations and not the font of the passed control. In the dialog provided by the workbench this will not do anything but for those dialogs provided by other components this will allow them to do the sizing before applying the dialog font.
Boring low-level UI work.
Done.
