I20151207-2000. 1. Open a text editor with some text in it. 2. Copy the text and go to Navigate > Open from clipboard to open the Java stack trace console view with the copied text. 3. Increasing/decreasing the font size with Ctrl +/- in the text editor changes the font size in the view also. But pressing these keys in the view does not work. If I close the editor now, to reset the font size in the view, I have to go to the preferences. Can't say this is a bug but not being able to change the font size from the view which is affected by font size changes in the editor looks incomplete.
See also bug 483472. Leaving in Platform Text for now.
The font for console (more precisely for org.eclipse.ui.console.TextConsolePage) is the IConsoleConstants.P_FONT constant. I didn't find a way to access that font in a generic way, using the APIs that are allowed in the handler. Without way to access the font definition name, we cannot get the zoom to work. I believe this highlights the need for a new interface such as IFontPropertyConsumer that we could hook on multiple text-related parts and pages (Console, compare or whatever consumes a font property). Then the handler would simply check whether the current part or page is and IFontPropertyConsumer and call its "getFontName()" method.

Please file a bug report for M5 and cc me.
