Open the Eclipse SDK help in Google Chrome. The document pane looks good, but the TOC and the labels in the header use a too large font.

IE and Firefox are looking good (about the same).

I agree, we could use some polishing of the CSS for Chrome
Comment 2 Markus Keller CLA 2011-06-27 05:50:16 EDT 
It's a Chome bug, see http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=87592: They don't properly interpret the "font: icon;" CSS rule.
Comment 3 Chris Goldthorpe CLA 2011-06-27 12:00:57 EDT 
There is a help preference "org.eclipse.help.base/advanced.viewFont" which controls the font used in the tabs for table for contents, search, index and bookmarks, currently the default value is "icon". It's possible that for Eclipse 4.2 the styles used in the help system will get inherited from Eclipse which would seem to be the best time to address this.

This mirrors another difference between Chrome and Firefox which is that the font used in the address typein area is larger in Chrome.

Removing the target milestone as I'm not planning on doing anything with this for 3.8.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

If the bug is still relevant, please remove the "stalebug" whiteboard tag.
