Description

**Preferences - General - Appearance - Colors and Fonts**

You can select all kinds of different fonts for different areas, but for Javadoc pop-ups there is one font area that is not appearing in the Eclipse font settings list, so I believe this is an oversight by the developers who are responsible for the font selection:

![eclipse_unchangeable_fonts](https://github.com/eclipse-platform/.github/assets/65259318/657b47b9-38c3-4672-b249-5e71ff854390)

In the Eclipse font settings there is no entry and no term for this, so I am calling it "Javadoc Code Font" and have highlighted it in red circles in the attached picture.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in Eclipse through Preferences > General > Appearance > Colors and Fonts, then open a Javadoc pop-up and identify the code text whose font is not represented in the settings list. Done means the Javadoc code font has a corresponding font preference and changing it updates the pop-up text.
