Created attachment 645025 [details] Eclipse does not respect font settings for some UI elements Description of problem: I've just installed Fedora provided Eclipse - first thing I've noticed, some UI elements (tabs!) are not respecting font settings. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): $ rpm -qa | grep eclipse eclipse-platform-4.2.1-1.fc17.x86_64 eclipse-rcp-4.2.1-1.fc17.x86_64 eclipse-emf-core-2.8.1-1.fc17.x86_64 eclipse-swt-4.2.1-1.fc17.x86_64 icu4j-eclipse-4.4.2.2-11.fc17.noarch eclipse-equinox-osgi-4.2.1-1.fc17.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install eclipse 2. try to change the tab font size to ie. 9pt Actual results: Font on tabs is extremely large -- around 50% larger than selected Expected results: Respected font settings selected by user Additional info: See screenshot for details. I've been using version downloaded from eclipse.org till now and font size on tabs was correct.
How do you change tab font size ? do you restart eclipse after changing the size?
(In reply to comment #1) > How do you change tab font size ? do you restart eclipse after changing the > size? Yes, I've tried to restart eclipse with no effect. I've googled that I can switch theme from GTK3 to Classic, this way tabs respect application's fonts settings. Also, this way Eclipse looks much better.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Mark, would you please try running SWT_GTK3=1 eclipse ? This is new feature in latest eclipse running on top of GTK3 which should map better to your Gnome installation settings. Part of the problem was that Eclipse was using Gtk2 so changing gnome settings wasn't applied to gtk 2 apps.

Currently running Fedora 19 with MATE Desktop, running `SWT_GTK3=1 eclipse` and switching theme to GTK brings back oversized labels. Switching back to Classic solves the issue. Didn't see any difference in running eclipse with `SWT_GTK3=1` or without. $ rpm -qa | grep eclipse eclipse-platform-4.3.0-3.fc19.x86_64 eclipse-egit-3.0.0-2.fc19.noarch eclipse-swt-4.3.0-3.fc19.x86_64 icu4j-eclipse-50.1.1-1.fc19.noarch eclipse-pde-4.3.0-3.fc19.x86_64 eclipse-jgit-3.0.0-4.fc19.noarch eclipse-equinox-osgi-4.3.0-3.fc19.x86_64 eclipse-subclipse-1.8.21-1.fc19.noarch eclipse-ecf-core-3.6.0-1.fc19.noarch eclipse-jdt-4.3.0-3.fc19.x86_64 eclipse-emf-core-2.9.0-1.fc19.noarch
