Is there a way to change the font manually?

Re-place the attached file in your plugins folder in eclipse. I changed the 
code to take the system font.

Or if you want to do it manually:

- checkout the code here from svn
- make a new 'Java from ant build file' project (select the build.xml file in 
the standalone folder)
- open the DecorHelper.java file in code/google/restclient/ui/
- change the method: getDefaultFont to
     public static Font getDefaultFont() {
        return Display.getDefault().getSystemFont();
     }  

- open terminal
- extract the plugin jar from eclipse in a temp folder. 
- > mkdir temp
- > jar xf <eclipse>/plugins/code.google.restclient.tool_1.0.3.jar
- important: now cd to the build/classes folder of the eclipse project you just 
created to update the library file in the temp folder
- > jar uf temp/lib/rc-tool-core_1.0.3.jar 
code/goolge/restclient/ui/DecorHelper*
- important: now cd to the temp/ folder to update the library file in the 
original plugin jar
- > jar uf <eclipse>/plugins/code.google.restclient.tool_1.0.3.jar 
lib/rc-tool-core_1.0.3.jar

restart eclipse in clean mode
