Steps to reproduce:

Appearance -> Color and Font Theme -> "Default" -> Apply and Close
Restart Eclipse
Appearance -> Colors and Font -> Basic -> Text Font -> Edit -> Set some non-default font and not Monospace 10
Appearance -> Colors and Font -> C/C++ -> Editor ->  C/C++ Editor Text Font -> Reset
Here the C/C++ Editor Text Font becomes the same as "Basic - Text Font" that we have set before
Apply and Close
Restart Eclipse
Appearance -> Color and Font Theme -> "Reduced palette" 
Apply and Close
Restart Eclipse
Appearance -> Colors and Font -> C/C++ -> Editor ->  C/C++ Editor Text Font
The font differs from the "Basic - Text Font" (Monospace 10 in my case)
Appearance -> Colors and Font -> C/C++ -> Editor ->  C/C++ Editor Text Font -> Reset
The C/C++ Editor Text Font becomes the same as "Basic - Text Font"
Apply and Close
Restart Eclipse
The C/C++ Editor Text Font does not remember the settings and reversed back to Monospace 10

Hi John, Thanks for the bug report. I can reproduce it with the C/C++ editor and with the Java editor and any other of the font settings, so this appears to be a generic problem and I am passing this bug to that team to look at.

I couldn't quite get steps in Comment 0 to work, instead I did this. (screen recording will be attached in a moment)

1 Set font theme to Reduced palette and restart
2 Change text font to non default
3 Change Java text font to non default
4 Reset Java font (which sets it back to font set in step 2)
5 Restart

At 5 observe that the font has gone back to default default Mononspace instead of font in Step 2.
