I am trying to change the default font field that appears in window -> preferences -> sirius -> sirius diagram -> appearance. I use the following code on startup of my eclipse application:

  private static final FontData DEFAULT_WINDOWS_FONT = new FontData("Arial", 7, SWT.NORMAL);
  private static final FontData DEFAULT_NON_WINDOWS_FONT = new FontData("Helvetica", 10, SWT.NORMAL);

IEclipsePreferences prefs = new DefaultScope().getNode("org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.ui");
    if(System.getProperty("os.name").startsWith("Windows")){
      prefs.put("Appearance.defaultFont", DEFAULT_WINDOWS_FONT.toString());
    } else {
      prefs.put("Appearance.defaultFont", DEFAULT_NON_WINDOWS_FONT.toString());
    }

This works on windows, but it does not work on macs. Any ideas why?
