How do I get a Font object representing the font set as the "Text Font" in the Eclipse Preferences -> General -> Appearance -> Colors and Fonts? I'm implementing a table-view where one of the columns is supposed to contained fixed-width text.

This turned out to be easier than expected. The font is obtained like this:

    font = JFaceResources.getTextFont();

There are similar methods for dialog and banner fonts.
