Hi,

I'm trying to change font size for my package explorer and it's not
working. Is it right or not (I tried to find such a bug but I didn't).

It's based on the font of your OS. You'll have to change the font in the
standard OS settings.

Thanks, I wasn't easy, because I'm using KDE not GNome, but I reach the
desired look of the Package explorer.

Isn't it a little bit confusing that some fonts are adjustable from
eclipse and some are not?

I agree. I guess it's because on one side Eclipse tries to look as
native as possible and on the other hand there is a real need to adjust
some of the fonts (e.g. for editors). Feel free to add a RFE with bugzilla.

First of all I tried it, but the BUGzilla is a little bit confising for
me. I try to chatch its meaning again.

The most confusing I consider, when you are running Eclipse under KDE,
then you have to edit some .gtkrc-2.0 file to change the font (on my
system this was necessary) and it's not straightforward.

Thanks for help
