[SWT-JFace] how to change the default font? [message #314006]

I've using SWT-JFace for my app, and i'm unable to find a way to set the
font that my application could use as default font.
As default i think that SWT uses "tahoma-9", but i do specify for each
label/button the font to use? I think that specifying a font in a parent
composite, all elements child of this composite would inherit the font of
the parent, but this not seems to be the behaviour of SWT... any resource or
suggestion for this?
Thanks ;)

I think SWT does not any special settings for font. It just keeps
current one, that was set by OS. You can write small recursive function
that iterates over full controls tree and modifies font for each control.
