Description:
The text entered in the sql editor does not have anti-aliasing.  All the other sections of workbench do show anti-aliased text.  Changing fonts, sizes, etc. does not fix this.  This is not a huge problem but it is jarring to the user and makes text difficult to read.

How to repeat:
Open Sql Editor, enter a sql statement. The text you typed will appear without anti-aliasing.  The data in the result set will have anti-aliasing.

Suggested fix:
Enable anti-aliasing on the entry area.

What do you mean with anti-aliasing?

[28 May 2010 11:12] Susanne Ebrecht

Btw. you are able to configure the editor font under perferences-appearances.

On my own installation here default value for the editor is Bitstream Sans Mono 9.
But this font isn't installed on my Linux system.

I changed the value to Helvetica 12 and all is fine now.

Verified just as described with 5.2.28 on Ubunut 10.04. Setting Helvetica does NOT help and it looks really ugly.

This is because of unconventional font syntax in Scintilla. You can fix by prepending the font name with !
A workaround that adds the ! automatically has been added to repository

An entry has been added to the 5.2.32 changelog: 

        The text in the SQL Editor was not anti-aliased, which caused it 
        to visually conflict with anti-aliased text elsewhere in 
        Workbench and hindered readability.
