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

["Valentino Kyriakides" <vkyriakides@xxxxxx>]

In the meantime I found out, that the "Courier New" font under windows
supports the showup of most glyphs in a table, if I use:

Font font = new Font (parent.getDisplay(), "Courier New", 10, SWT.NORMAL);
...
theTable.setFont(font);
...

but I don't know how to setup this font for the status line and a usual
MessageDialog (?). Further I wonder where the right place in a ViewSample
based plugin might be to dispose this font's object?
