I've attached a screenshot of the hex editor and actually I think it uses the Atari TTF font, it's just very small and blurry.

Also there's nothing in the .metadata/.log file related to this, here is the context when starting eclipse and displaying the hex editor:

I've tested it on a currentOS Intel. It's small but not blurry. The font size 6 according to the font's readme correspondds to 8x8 pixel. Yet, that's too small for higher resolution display and must be scaled up.

A test with factor 2 looks good on a 16" MacBook Pro.

So I have to find out how to detect the resolution.

After some analysis, reading and testing it turns out there are too mane influencing factors (Windows vs. macOS, DPI of the screen, type of the font) to find a good programmatic solution. Therefore I'll implement the option for the user to choose the size for the Atari 8-bit and CBM fonts in the preferences. They will appear as subclasses of "Text Font" and which is their default. Note that only the height of the selected font will be evaluated.

Integrated into stable version and tested. Documentation has to be updated.
