The Set Font Button: Set Window Fonts

This button brings up a panel which allows selection of the fonts used in the graphical interface. A drop-down menu provides selection of the various font targets. Pressing the Apply button will immediately apply the selected font to all visible windows which use the font.

The drop-down font targets list contains the following entries:

Fixed Pitch Text Window Font
This sets the font used in pop-up multi-line text windows, such as the Files Listing and Cells Listing, where the names are formatted into columns.

Proportional Text Window Font
This sets the font used in pop-up multi-line text windows where text is not formatted, such as the Info and error message pop-ups.

Fixed Pitch Drawing Window Font
This is the font used in the coordinate readout, the status line, layer table, and the prompt line. It is not the font used to render label text in the drawing windows, which is a vector font generated by other means.

Text Editor Font
This is the font used in the Text Editor pop-up.

HTML Viewer Proportional Font (Unix/Linux only)
This is the base font used for proportional text in the HTML viewer (help windows). If set, this will override the font set in the .mozyrc file, if any.

HTML Viewer Fixed Pitch Font (Unix/Linux only)
This is the base fixed-pitch font used by the HTML viewer. If set, this will override the font set in the .mozyrc file, if any.

The Font button in the Options menu of the text editor brings up a similar panel, as does the Font button in the Options menu of the help viewer.

These fonts can be set in the technology file, and are updated to the technology file when a Save Tech command is given.
