Hi,

Since upgrading my product to using Juno/e4/4.2, I have a font problem when running the built product.
I rely on the legacy support and do not use any of the e4 new model (CSS and all) at this stage.

When running in development from the IDE (using the product as launcher), the fonts look just right.
It is only when I run as an exported product that the fonts are bigger in the dialogs, on buttons, on tabs etc...

I've been fixing many things to make our product run fine on Juno, but this issue is harder to fix.
Any pointer on what to look for?

Edit: the product target is macosx.cocoa.x86_64.

Ok - did your export set "-Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.carbon.smallFonts"?
The name is a bit missleading but I think that's the option to make the
fonts smaller.

Editing posts is no good idea, it won't be visible for most newsgroup
readers (It surely is not visible on mine). You need to repost, if you
want to change things that you wrote, typically as a reply to your
original post.

Greetings from Bremen,

Ok, that fixed it. I added this property to the product definition.

   <configurations>
      ...  
      <property name="org.eclipse.swt.internal.carbon.smallFonts" value="true" />
   </configurations>


Unclear why this was suddenly needed between Indigo and Juno products, but I am happy. Thanks!
