[news.eclipse.tools] Text fields too tall in Linux wizards

[Steve Francisco <cisco@xxxxxxxxxx>]

When running R0.9 on Linux (say SuSE 7.1) I notice that the general look
of wizards is sloppy.  One of the most obvious problems is the size of
some controls like text fields and combo boxes - they are much larger
than their Windows counterparts, and cause a waste of screen real
estate.  Is there a way to control this?

For an example, look at the wizard for creating a new Java class on
Windows and Linux.

Another problem is the font size in the description area at the top.
It's too large on Linux and text that fit fine on the 2 lines on Windows
no longer fits on Linux.  The text splits to 3 lines and it tries to
center the lines vertically, causing the top half of line 1 to go
missing, as well as the bottom half of line 3.

Are there general font preferences that I'm missing, or does this need
to be fixed in JFace/SWT?
