Help, been using eclipse for a while now, but new install of Indigo on Ubuntu 11.04, java version "1.6.0_26" has me stumped. Characters in some words appear as "blocks". Not an encoding issue, font perhaps, any help appreciated. (Please see attached screenshot)

Looks like the font used by default in Eclipse's Text Editor does not
properly support Italics. You can change it from the Fonts and Colors
preference page.
