Hi mates,
when printing sources from Eclipse on Linux, the font size is huge (20pt or so) whereas the editor font is 10pt. The hardcopies cannot be used this way. It's wasting a lot of paper unless you switch the editor's font to a _really_ tiny size.
It is with a Ganymede 32bit installation on Suse 11.1 as well as with the newest Galileo 64bit on Ubuntu, both with C++ and Java code. Thus, I don't think that this has an influence on the bug. BTW: on Windows, it works fine.
It's the same when I print on paper with a post script printer and when I create a PDF with the virtual printer. The letters are just _huge_.
This subject has been around in the forums a couple of times, but so far nobody could really help. Some suggest to use an external program like OO for printing, but that's not quite the idea of an _Integrated_ Development Environment, is it?
Nevertheless, I don't want to complain but I rather think it shouldn't be a big deal to fix this problem. I guess that the editor's font size should just be divided by some factor in the printer module. That'd help heaps...
I'm very interested to help here if I can, if only somebody could give me a hint how to start: for instance, where to get the sources I would need, how change the responsible module? I work a lot _with_ Eclipse (mostly C++) but have not yet modified Eclipse itself.
Can anybody recommend a good book or tutorial that gives some really deep insight into Eclipse's guts?
Regards Ingmar
