TextEditor wrong font problem [message #318499]

Im using a class that extends TextEditor to open files with a given
extention.

When opening the file for the first time in a Workspace I'm getting a
wrong font for the editor: Tahoma 8pt instead of Courier New 10pt. If I
leave the file open and close the Workspace and reopen it, the font is
correct.

Under Window - Preferences - General - Color and Fonts - Text Font, the
selected font is Courier New.

This only started with the latest Eclipse 3.3.

What font is used when you open a file with the default Text editor the
first time. I just tried with the Text and Java editors and it works out
of the box using plain Eclipse SDK. Maybe you do something wrong
regarding the font?

Same thing happens - the default Text editor uses the Tahoma font the
first time (it is the "System default" font BTW). But if I leave the file
open and reopen the Workspace - it switches to Courier New for the default
Test editor just like my editor...

I don't know what's going on. I will try a new test plug-in.

Does it happen in a plain Eclipse SDK install as well (i.e. without any
other plug-in including yours)?

OK I found the problem :)

There is no font problem with a fresh install of Eclipse SDK 3.3, with no
additional plug-ins.
I tested all my plug-ins and it turns out it was the Topcased plugin that
caused the font problem. I was using the 1.0.0 version:
http://gforge.enseeiht.fr/frs/?group_id=7
which was supposed to be compatible with Eclipse 3.3.
