[news.eclipse.tools] Re: Putting Composite into TableItem ?

["Valentino Kyriakides" <vkyriakides@xxxxxx>]

Grant, how can I do this ...say in a portable manner for the font... and
finally ...which font may be able to show up all those possible glyphs?

Personally I'am working on a win box (under W2K with the JDK 1.4.x), but
somebody else ,who possibly want's to run my plugin, may be using some
flavor of Unix system instead. So how can I control which fonts are used for
all possible OS and what would happen for other users, if I only would
define one win font on my side (will then some automatic font
mapping/replace take place)?
