Did you try using Tahoma for both interface and dialogs?
I do like MS Sans Serif, but Tahoma looks better when ClearType is enabled.

Re: Font settings suggestions
I think I like those changes, and "Interface Font" better than "Main Window Font"....admin wrote:I changed the situation! Interface Font is now only used for the main window interface, so from now on these

use Dialog Font. They are dialogs, right!?
"Interface Font" should be renamed to make this clearer! What about "Main Window Font"?

I did not do it because it must be a monospace font. Else the whole layout crashes. So I won't give you the freedom to choose to save your soul.Sakis wrote:Donald, thanks for the recent changes you made.
However there is still no way to configure font in "Preview" and "Raw View", besides font size selection.
Could you please consider adding font config for those panels too? You know, I really hate courier!

Question: Is the existing font the only monospace font that is commonly available on user systems? If not, then allowing user to change it with an appropriate warning (in Help file, plus wiki) as to what will happen if wrong font picked should suffice. As I presume there isn't a way to limit the font choices on dialog to a selected handful?admin wrote:I did not do it because it must be a monospace font. Else the whole layout crashes.

Addendum: Besides, you can't protect the user from everything they could do to screw things up!

Actually, I've seem this in several text editors so it is possible to limit a users choice to installed monospace fonts only.j_c_hallgren wrote:Question: Is the existing font the only monospace font that is commonly available on user systems?

Yes, indeed. I found the way (but will add later...).Dirhael wrote:Actually, I've seem this in several text editors so it is possible to limit a users choice to installed monospace fonts only.
