Programmatically set the font for text editor.

[DanielH]

Hi,

Looking at the FontsPreferencePage (Window -> Preferences -> Author -> Fonts) you can either tell Oxygen to use Eclipse's font settings, 'Map to text font', or specify your own, 'Customize..'.

Is there a way in the oXygen API or framework files to set oXygen to not use the Eclipe font and use a different font by default?

Thanks

Hi Daniel,

The simplest override would be to specify in the CSS file used to render the XML document in the Author page a different font family (or font size) using code like:

Code: Select all

*{

	font-family:Arial;

        font-size:16px;

}

Whatever exists in the CSS specification for defining font families, sizes, should work.

Radu

Hi Radu,

Thanks for the quick response. I understand that would work for the Author tab, however will this also work for when the XML editor is set to Text edit mode? ie, after having clicked the tab 'Text'.

Thanks again.

Hi Daniel,

In this case, the only viable alternative I can think of would be to distribute along with the Oxygen plugin a custom set of default Oxygen preferences like described here:
