[news.eclipse.platform] Re: Disable font anti-aliasing in java editor in

[Alex Blewitt <automatic@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

1) Why would you want to? Seriously? 

2) No. The editor uses the Text components on Mac OS X which are always anti-aliased. 

You could turn off anti-aliasing for everything by using the  System Preferences. There's different levels of anti-aliasing that you can set for different types of display (LCD, CRT) as well as an option to disable anti-aliasing for small fonts (by default, 9pt). Upping this to 12pt will mean that anything 12pt or less doesn't get anti-aliased, and as such, you'll be able to use a font of 12pt or smaller to not see it anti-aliased.

There may be some low-level hackery that will allow you to change the minimum font size from 12pt, but as well as making your Java editor uglier it'll make every other app uglier too.
