Eclipse Oxygen's Text Font setting and those derived from it are not respected


I installed the latest Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers (Windows 64-bit) recently.

When changing Text Font to my personal preference I realized that this setting and those derived from it (C/C++ Editor Text font, C/C++ Build Console Text Font, Structured Text Editor Text Font) are not respected in Generic Text Editor, Text Editor, C/C++ Editor, XML Editor.

Funny thing is: If I Reset Text Font the font name in the Preview below is empty(!), just the font size is displayed there and the text preview's font is the font that's used in all the editors mentioned above.

Is this a (known?) bug or what am I missing here?

UPDATE

This is NOT Courier New:

Solution

  • I downloaded and extracted the package once again and now the font preferences work as usual.
