I'm unconvinced that this can be attributed entirely to Eclipse 3.3.0. I've been running Eclipse 3.3.0 on my SuSE Linux box since the introduction of MyEclipse 6.0.0. I did NOT see this font problem with that combination. I've only seen this issue since upgrading to MyEclipse to 6.0.1. That tells me it's something MyEclipse is doing.

Also, although I see this problem with JSEclipse, I also see it editing simple text files (Linux shell scripts, Windows batch files, ...) and XML files. This isn't an issue just with JSEclipse. I find it most ANNOYING with JSEclipse as I spent a great deal of time editing JavaScript with it. I've gotten in the habit of shutting down Eclipse with a JavaScript file open so that the next time I start it, it starts with a JavaScript file with a fixed pitch font. Problem is if I then have to edit an XML file or shell script that I have to open it and go through the font fixup process described in an earlier post.

Guys Nipun and I worked together and confirmed the problem. We will file this ASAP and see if we can get it fixed.

We are really sorry about this, thanks for hanging in there.

Hi, I have the same problem with MyEclipse 6.0.1 on Windows XP.
It seems that several editors based on the standard text editor work incorrectly (SQL editor, ANT editor, the text editor itself,...)

A solution would be great (without having to reset the font each time I start a MyEclipse workbench)

I'm seeing this as well. It seems the problem is only with non-core plugin editors (I see it in JSEclipse, the JSP, XML, HTML editors, but never in the Java editor, or system text editor. I also see it in a text editor plugin I wrote myself. I can correct the problem on a per session basis by going to window->preferences->General->preferences->fonts and colors and changing the "Basic Text font" to some other font, apply that change, then change it back to the default font (courier), and all the affected editors then correctly use the right font. This is a real pain - I've seen the problem on Vista and XP. The only common ground I can see is MyEclipse.

Can we get an update on this, please? This is currently affecting every developer in my team. I realize its probably only a minor issue in the grand scheme of things, but its frustrating.

Cheers.

I'm seeing the same behavior using the EPIC plug-in for Perl on a Fedora 7 system. I'd appreciate hearing any report of a solution or work-around.

The workaround I'm using here is to reset the Basic Text Font to it's default, go into the selection dialog for changing the font, press OK there (without changing anything) and storing the 'change' (Apply or OK). Allways the correct font after this setting. :-) You're just pulling the setting from deep down in the dungeans up a few levels so it can actually be found by all editors searching for the default textfont.
We'll have to wait for the real fix (probably ME 6.02 or 6.1) to finally have it fixed. (And the above setting can really be reset to it's factory-default)

Hello Riyad or to whomever it may concern. I just wanted to see if I could please get an update on the progress that has been made with this bug, thanks. I have been holding back from upgrading to version 6 for some time now until this has been addressed.

Can we anticipate a fix in the next patch release by chance? [6.0.x]?

Many regards.

Hi

I'd like to ask the same question. No problems with Eclipse 3.3 but as soon as I install MyEclipse I'm seeing this (really annoying!) problem. And update from the developers would be really appreciated.
