[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: disposing objects - again

[Soni <soni29@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you all for the reponse, i know about Font f = new Font(..) and then 
assigning it to g.setFont(f); i was just curious if there was a way to 
still dispose of the Font object or if this was something that is not 
recommended to be done.  but Mr. Hudson recommnded gc.getFont().dispose(); 
seems like that might work.

Thank you.
