Re: [platform-swt-dev] not true monospacing with eclipse on OSX


I've seen that behavior as well. It's definately a bug. You should enter a report for it if you don't find one that describes it first.

I've noticed that on my Mac, (M4, OSX 10.2.3), I don't get true
monospacing.  I'm using monaco, and I noticed that if i type something
like "finally" - the "f" and "i" get compressed into one character.. i
believe that's a standard feature for certain text for readability, but
its not something I'd want to happen in a text editor.  This also
happens with courier fonts.

I was also wondering if other people were seeing the same behavior.

Also does anyone here think that the default font for the package
explorer perspective is way too large?  I really liked the size it was
in M3 (and I like the font used on Windows' version of Eclipse even
more..  its readable and doesn't take up too much space.)  Even at
1280x1024, a medium length package name will be too long.  I think an
excellent font to use for this perspective would be the font that
ProjectBuilder uses for it's file explorer.  I can ask around for the
specific font type/size.

I have been unable to find any way to adjust this font size in the
preferences.  is this hard coded in?
