Hello,
I play with eclipse gtk and fonts and I have one problem
When I choose non anti alias font (GDK_USE_XFT=0) then fonts is great
but all dialogs in eclipse are wide (screenshot
http://www.snpe.co.yu/eclipse-gtk.png )
This is same for eclipse 3.0 and eclipse 2.1.1
With antialias (GDK_USE_XFT=1) dialogs are fine, but fonts is ugly
(screenshot http://www.snpe.co.yu/eclipse-gtk1.png )

gtk is 2.2.2 from cvs

regards
Haris Peco

What is ugly about the font? The displayed characters look exactly like
they're supposed to, as far as I can tell.

One thing you can do is to try out different gtk2 themes:

The wide dialogs looks like a gtk or swt bug. See if you can find any bug
reports at http://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs or try asking on the
eclipse.platform.swt newsgroup.

fonts without antialias (eclipse-gtk.png) are great, but fonts with
antialias are ugly for me (eclipse-gtk1.png)
If I set antialias dialogs are fine, but I want font without antialias

I think that is swt bug, but this is only for eclipse
GTK apliactions are fine.
I ask on swt newgroup

Well, then you wouldn't mind trying out some different ones. Eclipse
behaves differently with different themes (in my experience). You might
have better luck using a different theme. Or you might try changing your
default gtk font.

I run without anti-aliasing on gtk for performance reasons and have seen
different results with different themes and fonts.

Try to set a different font for all the things. I found that eclipse
is much faster with XFT=0 and with bitream vera fonts, it doesn't look
that different (BTW: what are you complaining about with the two
sreeshots?).

I try different themes or fonts without success.
I think that my problem is gtk version (2.2.2) or pango version (1.2)
What is your gtk version ?

Thanks

I am (bitstream vera sans and simple theme) - without success
Maybe is a problem gtk version (2.2.2) or pango version (1.2)
Eclipse is faster with XFT=0 and very nice, too.

Here are the versions of the packages I've got (I'm using debian sid's
latest packages):

pango: 1.2.3-1
gtk: 2.2.2-2

I'm using the Ximian Industrial theme. I have told my gnome font settings
that my screen resolution is 125 dpi (14" @ 1400x1050)

My default gnome font is Bitstream Vera Sans at 6 points.

Bitstream Vera Sans work fine (I try with 96 dpi, 9 point, any themes), but
what is a problem with arial, verdana, (any corefonts.sourceforge.net)
Another gnome applications work fine (nautilus, gnome-control-center,
bluefish ...)
Eclipse don't compute good font width without anti-alias
