Sorry this could be in the wrong section but I'm wondering if anyone knows what the name is of the default font being used in the standard IDE for Processing. Asking because I have started using Eclipse IDE for Java and coming from the Processing language I would like to have the same font in Eclipse.

Thanks.

Indeed, it is not a programming question at all. Moved.

The font is defined in the preferences.txt file:
editor.font=Monospaced,plain,12

Monospaced is actually a font name specific to Java, which converts it to whatever font it currently ships with the JRE.
For example, on my Windows system, I can find these fonts in:
C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_30\jre\lib\fonts
and you can see there it uses the Lucida font family. LucidaTypewriter for the mono-spaced version.
