Programmatically getting Eclipse preference value

Question

What is the best way to use preference values defined in plugin code? For example, I have created a custom editor(multipage) and would like to use Text font preference value which is already defined in eclipse.

Code sample would be appreciated. Thanks.

This varies a lot depending on which preference you want to get.

For the standard fonts you should use JFaceResources:

Font textFont = JFaceResources.getFont(JFaceResources.TEXT_FONT);
