Change the text editor default font?

Post by cayennep »

It may seem small, but I really dislike looking at courier, much less working in it - is there a way to change the default font display in the text editor?

Few searches have yielded no results, can't remember if I could do this before but it doesn't seem a lot to ask!

any help greatly appreciated, thanks

Are you talking about the topics when viewed in the XML Editor, or other things like the Stylesheet Editor and TOC Editor? If you're talking about the topics, they'll display using the font you have specified in the stylesheet medium associated with the stylesheet defined in the master target. In other words, if you have Courier specified in the print medium and your master target is PDF output, then you'll see the topics in the editor displayed in that font. If you still want Courier for your output, then you'll probably want to specify a different target as your master target, so long as its stylesheet and medium aren't using the Courier font.

I have no idea where the Stylesheet Editor, TOC Editor, etc., pick their fonts from, but it's most likely the default font used for your operating system.

I think this is comparable to the themes that one can choose in Notepad++. However, I have no idea if and how this would be done in the Flare Text Editor.

I think I've submitted this feature request before, but just did so again.

It's Case 73317, I think there's a way to vote for it but don't know what that is.

btw, def not the system font, it's in Flare
