[news.eclipse.platform] Re: How to get default font in Table

[Ed Merks <merks@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Prasad,

I found it a bit frustrating when prototyping 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=95934 that the basic 
design doesn't include access to the default font since the typical 
requirement is to change the existing font of the viewer to bold or 
italic rather than to specify a font from scratch.  So it's necessary to 
know the font being used by the target and to do that you need to set 
that up yourself using Control.getFont for the Table and passing that in 
to your specialized label provider.
