I20080327-0100 1. open code assist on java source 2. select an element that has description text Observe: the resulting font is HUGE, so much so that the text is likely useless (hence marking this major).
Created attachment 94009 [details] screen cap showing relative font sizes of code assist list and text
This _was_ a problem on Linux/gtk+ with I20080325-0100 but I cannot reproduce it on I20080327-2251.
Created attachment 94013 [details] screenshot gtk with partial big fonts Just in case it isn't fixed already, this is a screenshot of 0335-2233 on gtk. The fonts of the content assist are way too big but the javadoc font is alright.
I dont believe our popup has anything to do with the javadoc blob that appears. Moving to JDT for comment.
Guys please. One bug one bug report. This bug is about the Javadoc and latest comment says Javadoc is good but... Anyway, the content assist proposal list bug is fixed in I20080327-2251. Kevin, the picture looks as if you switched to HC under WinXP. This them *has* big fonts. For M7 we will provide a way to move into the Javadoc window and resize it. Are you suggesting to ignore HC and set a hard-coded small font?

Are you suggesting to ignore HC and set a hard-coded small font? Correct I'm using HC in WinXP. While its true that this mode does use larger fonts, the font in question is bigger than say the list font, default text font (say from 3.3.2, current is smaller but that's a separate bug), etc. We're talking PowerPoint presentation size font here. I'm not suggesting we don't observe the system font choices. I just wonder if we're computing something, or picking up a font that was intended for something else (although what I'm not sure, its not title or anything else I can spot). In any case it makes the description portion unusable so something's not right here. By the way, I'm seeing the same behaviour in 3.3.2 so its not a regression.
Created attachment 94081 [details] Sceen cap showing font comparison In the screen shot you can see that the description font (left box) is considerably bigger than the explorer list font, the title font, etc. Looks about 2x.
FYI, I looked through the system Display Properties -> Appearance -> Advanced dialog on XP when in HC mode and the largest font I could find is 18pt (active title etc). So I don't think this is a system font size we're seeing. In case it helps, its true that the javadoc view seems to be using the same font (both in i0327 and in 3.3.2).
I cannot reproduce this here (see attached picture). Most likely this has to do which browser is used by the Browser widget on your computer and what settings that browser is using. Are you using the standard setup? If so that would be IE. Maybe you've set your browser to ignore custom fonts? Check your browser settings, especially those related to fonts and accessibility. Also, please test (under normal and HC) whether your browser honors the Javadoc font at all (General > Colors and Fonts | Java > Javadoc display font (which per default its set to dialog font). Also, you should see the same bad font in Javadoc view.

Interesting, didn't know the connection to the browser widget. Will investigate the items you mentioned.
Kevin, did you have any chance to investigate? We haven't seen this so far.
Thanks for the reminder Dani. Short answer is it looks like an IE problem: It seems that IE on my machine is scaling up the fonts, and I assume then we pick that up. No matter what font I pick in the javadoc preference, I get indeed that font but not the size, its always scaled way up. And if I simply open IE then I get a mondo font (with text size is set to medium).
