Hello,

I would like to change the font size for the tool tips you get
when hovering the mouse over a java class. At my machine,
they ar shown in about 2 point size and are thus unreadable.
I'm using 3.2M6 on AMD64 linux gtk running on kde 3.5.2.

Thanks in advance,
Bernd

You currently can't control this. It's strange though that you get a 2pt
font.The used style sheet uses 10pt. How does it appear in the Javadoc view?

The javadoc view look ok. I made a screen shot (31kb).

Any ideas?

Sincerely,

It is for all Hovers, those from SWT, the JDK and
my own classes.

Sincerely,

I have a "bad font" for tooltips too:
- "bad font" means not good readable
- I miss the possibility to change this font (type and size)
- I get the same "bad font" on "@ Javadoc"-view

Regards,
Hanno

I could solve this - it was a problem with a system font on my computer.

BTW:
1) Which font is used for the tool tip?
2) There should be a possibility to change the font inside eclipse.

I just loaded 3.2 Java 1.5 Windows XP

The font size for tooltips is about 14 point, really large.

Is there some buried setting which can change this? I have gone through all the font settings, but maybe some config file somewhere?

Why not read the other posts in this thread first?

Well yes I did, which is why I replied to a really old post.

I was hoping that someone may have discovered this since then and could give an answer.
