Make Eclipse use larger fonts
Authored by: Sprengmeister on Sep 16, '09 05:05:05AM
it's not possible to change the Eclipse GUI fonts (Package explorer...) from within Eclipse.
Instead, Eclipse adopts the OS default fonts. This is a problem especially in Mac OS X.

I've found this workaround though:

- download and install TinkerTool and open it
- in TinkerTool, switch to "Fonts"
- next to "Help tags", click on "Change..."
- select a different font style / size, make sure TinkerTool has adopted the
new setting
- close & restart Eclipse -> voilĂ !
