Description Simon Archer CLA 2017-07-02 16:10:11 EDT 
Using:
  Eclipse SDK
  Version: Oxygen (4.7)
  Build id: I20170612-0950
  OS: Windows 7, v.6.1, x86_64 / win32

It appears that with Eclipse Oxygen the font for the Display view is no longer monospaced (similar to that of the Java editor), but rather a skinny proportional font. It's more difficult to read than before, and there appears to be no way to change it.

I shall attach a screen shot.

Comment 3 Sarika Sinha CLA 2017-08-03 02:51:19 EDT 
I can reproduce this bug, don't see any change in this piece of code. Noy sure if some platform changes has effected this.
Comment 4 Sarika Sinha CLA 2017-08-03 02:58:07 EDT 
@Andrey, any idea if some change happened in platform?

I believe this same as bug 508851, which isn't fixed at all. I believe someone should initialize preference store with right data, but I wonder why does it affects only Display view.

Starting point for debugging is org.eclipse.jdt.internal.debug.ui.JDISourceViewer.updateViewerFont().
Comment 6 Andrey Loskutov CLA 2017-08-03 04:21:53 EDT 
Probably bug 508859 is what we should fix to get this one fixed, but I haven't debugged into it.
Comment 7 Christian Koppen CLA 2017-08-03 05:09:16 EDT 
The Editor for conditional breakpoints (in Breakpoint Properties window) suffers from the same problem.
Comment 8 Sarika Sinha CLA 2017-08-03 06:36:02 EDT 
Yes, both of them uses the same stuff, Will have to wait for bug 508859 to be fixed.
Comment 9 Sarika Sinha CLA 2018-04-24 04:38:35 EDT 
Bug 532472 -  Debug Shell font should be the same as Java Editor font

has handled in the Debug Shell.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. As such, we're closing this bug.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
