Description Kevin Haaland CLA 2001-11-08 08:58:41 EST 
The default font that SWT returns needs to reflect the user's display settings. 

To replicate switch your display to use one of the high contrast large fonts and
check the default font returned by Display.

On win32, we currently return the font called "DEFAULT_GUI_FONT" which is 
about as good a definition default font as you can get. It's certainly 
arguable that if this font doesn't respond to the user's display settings, 
then it's not our problem. However, we are open to suggestions: Which of the 
many other fonts which are available from the system would you suggest is the 
best overall choice for a default font?
Comment 2 Tod Creasey CLA 2002-01-16 14:58:01 EST 
The current choice of the font used for Trees is consistent with the font used 
by other Tree based applications like the Windows Explorer. SWT is now 
accessible as it asks for the fonts from the system.

I would consider this PR Closed.
Comment 3 Steve Northover CLA 2002-01-16 15:32:04 EST 
Actually, we no longer use DEFAULT_GUI_FONT.  We use the fonts from the control 
panel and change font dynamically.
