I have an application which will have many windows, so it makes sense to me to create a singleton that holds a FontRegistry
instance and have that singleton manage the FontRegistry
's contents. My code looks something like this:
import org.eclipse.jface.resource.FontRegistry;
import org.eclipse.swt.graphics.Font;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display;
public final class FontRegistryManager {
public static final FontRegistryManager INSTANCE = new FontRegistryManager();
FontRegistry fr;
private FontRegistryManager() {
fr = new FontRegistry();
Display currentDisplay = Display.getCurrent();
Font mainFont = new Font(currentDisplay, "Tahoma", 8, 0);
fr.put(FontRegistryConstants.MAIN_FONT, mainFont.getFontData());
mainFont.dispose();
}
public FontRegistry getFR() {
return fr;
}
}
What I'm wondering is, am I right to immediately dispose of mainFont
?
