TextStyle default font with different size [message #655992]

Hi,
I want to define a TextStyle that makes use of the editor's default font
but in a larger font size. I have not been able to figure out how to do
this.

A default TextStyle has no FontData so it is very hard to make any
statement about the size (without also specifying the font name).

I tried things like getting the JFaceResources.TEXT_FONT from the font
registry, but that is not the same font as what is used by default in
the text editor.

Hope someone can point me in the right direction.

Regards
- henrik

Hi Henrik,

I'm afraid you'll have to define an own API for that. I guess
abstraction that we used simplifies too much for your use case.

Ok, thanks.
Any chance you know where/how the default font is actually resolved?
Even a guess Is helpful...
