20021115 The dialog font is not honoured by the Application server preference page. Preference pages have the dialog font set as the font of the control sent to createContents - you can just copy the font from the parent to the children you create. Other dialogs can get it by calling JFaceResources.getDialogFont(). This is also an issue for the About details pages.

Sebastian, it looks like the attachment is for the Compare component. Could you create another one for help? Thanks!
Created attachment 2575 [details] fixes grrr ;)
forgot to mark the other as obsolete :(
Fixes applied. Thanks for helping!
Created attachment 2577 [details] fix for "scope" in HelpSearchPage
Created attachment 2579 [details] TomcatPreferencePage changed the fonts of the spacers but not the actual labels :(
attachment 2580 [details] fixes the About details pages
I let the spacer's font in, because it doesn't hurt. The "About" pages are contributed by the UI team, so I did not make those changes.
Help Search Page does not use the dialog font.
Sebastian, I do not get your last comment. Do you see anything more that is wrong with the help search, or the fixes did not work?
Search/Help... Tab "Help Search"
I do not see a problem. Eclipse 2.1, changed preferences to use bold italic 10 for dialog font. Opened Search->Help from the menu. All the fonts look as specified.
Search/Search... Take a look at the different tabs including the "Help Search" tab. Close the dialog. Window/Preferences/Workbench/Fonts Change Dialog font ... different size for example. Search/Search... Take a look at the different tabs including the "Help Search" tab. Observe: The "Help Search" page is the only one *not* to pick up the font change
I can reproduce following your steps. This is a different problem than this bug. The search page was not using dialog fonts. This was fixed (follow my steps). The problem is that if you open help search page first, then open change the fonts, the change does not take effect without restarting workbench. It would be good if you opened a new bug for this (with your steps to reproduce).
