Hi,

I'm trying out the WikiText feature to write the documentation for my component at work as I found it really great to create quick descriptions that can be send out as help for users and posted as pages in the internal wiki.

What I really do not like is the default mosospace font rendering, it uses a very big font making it rather unusable on my office machine (a windows xp), I have to say that on my home mac it renders perfectly :)

Looks like you're running into this bug:

If so, please reopen it and post a screenshot of your problem.  Note that the issue was fixed with font preferences that are used by Mylyn WikiText in the Mylyn task editor, but not for the WikiText source file editor.  You can see what was done on this bug:

So, I thought that a font preference for the editor would be helpful (currently I tweaked the editor to use the default text font from preferences).

Is it a feature that might be interesting for others too and should I spend some time to implement it?

You bet, you're right on track.  Feel free to create a new issue for the font preference enhancement.  Please attach any contributions to the bug.  If you need to please refer to our Contributor Reference.

Best regards,

David

 

Cheers
Fabrizio
