Re: [ercp-dev] first approach and fonts

[Mark Rogalski <rogalski@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The eWorkbench is not coded to use any
device/user preferences for font size since there is no standard way to
obtain this info. So if on your particular device, the fonts are too small,
the easiest thing to do is recompile the eWorkbench plugin with your own
font size specified.

You typically see boxes instead of characters
when the device font does not support the character being displayed. Some
device manufacturers provide additional fonts that you can download to
the device. Make the new font the default, and most apps should use it
and display the right characters.

Hi list,
I am quite new to the eRCP project and was successful in adding
applications to the eWorkbench using the phoneme jvm.
So far I am amazed about the possibility to go mobile developing in rcp.

Due to the display size (I guess) of the device, the font is  way
to
small to be readable, which is why I supplied custom fonts to the
widgets.
I could not find a way to do this in an overall way (themes do not
seem to be supported). I have 2 main problems:
- the eWorkbench parts are still small. Do I have to modify the plugin
directly to change the UI font or is there another way?
- the texts have strange rectangles [0] instead of the spaces

Best regards,
Andrea
