When I remote x with ssh -X -Y -C and then run eclipse (x client is my FC7 machine - yes it's old but I don't have time to upgrade it) and the x-server is cygwin 1.7 on windows. When I start eclipse on cygwin and open a file the fonts are tiny. Seem like they're about 8pt however eclipse has not "changed" the size.
If i do this same thing on OSX the fonts are not small like this. Any idea how to fix it? Generally I have to bump the font size in eclipse then once I'm back at my linux box I have to put the font sizes back down. Note that the small fonts dont seem to be application level but only in the editor (meaning that the package explorer et. al. are not abnormally small)
