Changing fonts without effect [message #636489]

Hello Group,

I have got a problem.
A RCP application of mine has a functionality that lets users change
fonts for all Text/StyledText tables ... etc via settings. (all active
controls that need font cahnged react over a listener to changes in
properties)
This works fine on Windows and on Linux. But fails silently on
MacOsX(cocoa).

Any Idea how I could debug this?
I just don't know how to go on.. FontData created from String is fine.
Font created from FontData doesn't carry helpful information visible
from debugger..
Font is set to the controls.

I am just clueless what I could try to find the culprit for this problem.

Sounds like an SWT issue. CC-ing SWT forum.

A snippet would be easier for investigation.
