I always struggled with the font sizes in the eclipse help viewer, e.g. in the cdt docs the font was to big since many years.
Now with mars I find that annoying big font size in the help content of jdt, too.
Is there a chance, e.g. with customization of css files (which one?), to change the font size in the help viewer window? If it's not possible to change the appearance of the help viewer the only way is to use my external brwoser to view the help, but I want to use the internal viewer whenever possible.
Thanks in advance
bye
Marcus

As it's a long holiday in the Unites States, you'll lose a lot of that
contingent until Monday. And, as we've arrived at the weekend, things
quiet down anyway no matter the country. So, understand that you're not
being ignored. I don't personally know anything about this issue, so I
don't have an answer for you.
Cheers

Yes, it's hot like that here in the Rocky Mountains (high deserts), but
it is ordinary at this time of year to reach well beyond 100°F (> 37°C).
This week we hit over 100° three days. Further south, near Phoenix, it
hits in the 110°-120°F range. At least the heat is dry, so it's not like
a sauna. But, if I lived in Phoenix, I'd have to have a pool.
Personally, I find a rock and crawl under it.
