I'm working on my first plugin, and I'm a little stumped.
I need to be able to display text, some in one font, some in another,
where the two fonts will be fairly well mixed (read: two fonts in a single
line, likely alternating words).
StyledText won't work, b/c I have two genuinely different fonts I want to
mix (one english, one symbol), not just two different font styles.
Any suggestions?
I've heard rumors of a RichText class that sounds like it might do what I
want, but I've been unable to track it down.
Currently I'm working with Eclipse 2.1, but if I have to upgrade to 3.x I
guess I will.
thanks,
Noah

Hi Noah,
There currently is not a rich text class, but there is a 3.1 plan item under
consideratoin to extend StyledText to do what you need (see under the Rich
Client Platform heading at
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/plat form-swt-home/R3_1/plan.html#Overall_Plan )
.. In the meantime, I do not have a good alternative suggestion for you
unless the text you're displaying is read-only; if it is then you can create
a Browser widget and feed it an html string that represents your content.
