Default Font Size [message #548305]

I need a way to shrink all of the text in my application. I've tried the following code in pre/postWindowCreate in the ApplicationWorkbenchAdvisor:

FontRegistry registry = JFaceResources.getFontRegistry();
for(String key : (Set<String>)registry.getKeySet()) {
  registry.put(key, registry.getDescriptor(key).setHeight(4).getFontData()); // Really small for testing
}

Unfortunately, the only thing that changes is the FormToolkit headers. All the other labels, text fields, lists, etc. are the same.

How can I globally shrink my fonts?

Either you wait on e4 where i think you can define your font in a css file, or you could implement something like A GUI Factory, which creates all controls and adds a listener to them, when the font is changed then, the font can be set

control.setFont(...);
