ID of default font for TableViewers [message #330129]

I would like to declare a font definition (using the
org.eclipse.ui.themes.fontDefinition extension point) that defaults to the
same default font used by TableViewer. This way my font will match the
platform default, but users can change it using preferences.

I guess the value of JFaceResources.VIEWER_FONT would work, but according to
the Javadoc, that symbol is deprecated. Is its value
("org.eclipse.jface.viewerfont") deprecated as well? Is there a different
id I should use?

Thanks,
David

Okay, simpler question: assuming I want to use the system default font
(which TableViewer seems to use by default,) how do I define a font that
defaults to the system font?

defaultsTo="org.eclipse.jface.defaultfont" causes NullPointerExceptions when
the Colors and Fonts preference page is open, and my font definition
doesn't appear. Using "org.eclipse.jface.textfont" works fine.
