Not sure if it's bad form to follow-up on one's own posts but
have some new observations. I was taking fonts out of my path
one-by-one using
xset fp- /path/to/font/
xset fp rehash
then launching eclipse. When I took out /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/
eclipse failed to start and gave me this message....
The program '<unknown>' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadName (named color or font does not exist)'.
(Details: serial 498 error_code 15 request_code 45 minor_code 0)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
So it would seem that eclipse is using the fonts in that path. Also,
for clarification, the problem I'm having with huge fonts in eclipse
is not the customizable fonts in Window ->Preferences.... The huge
fonts are the pull-down menus, tab labels, nodes in Navigator tree,
etc. Basically any font I *cannot* control from the eclipse interface.
Hope that helps...
