script editor font

from WinCustomize Forums
I just found out that the italicized font which appears in my DX script editor is not normal. How can I get the normal font to show up, I think it's supposed to be Courier New. I do have that font in my fonts directory and I have uninstalled and reinstalled DX many, many times.

Running the latest version of DX, XP Pro SP2 and the mose recent wscript version

Thanks

Looks like that's a rough road you live on (i.e lot's of bumps!)

Sorry for the false alarm

Bichur, thank you very much for your tip!!! I have never right clicked on the application window and had no idea 'properties' was listed there. Every single program I have ever used had 'properties' in the menu system somewhere.

sigh.... Do you know how to make Courier the default font and make the font change permanent? Every new script window starts with 'script' as its font and when I reopen a script window which has had the font changed, the font is, once again, 'script'. (Oh, I get it now, it's a pun.)


Thanks again.

bump...sorry, but the script font really bugs me (hard for me to read)

If you are familiar with Regedit you can search the registry for the fontname and see if something comes up under a DesktopX category.

Mine stays at courier new.

I can't figure out to set it to stay at anything else.

i can get object edit to stay. only workaround i got now, is set object edit to the font you want, and copy from one to the another (and back if need be).

Sorry. will keep on it for a while though - no retreat, no surrender.

here: get corelDRAW graphics suite 12 trial, and then use the bundled bitstream font navigator... or maybe its a standalone proggy... the font navigator makes installing and uninstalling fonts easy, and its permanent. hope that helps!

How do you use it to get the font to the script editor and make is the default?

Thanks all, I really appreciate the answers.

I have a font manager. That's not really the problem. The problem is that DX has decided to make the 'Script' font its default and we can't figure out how to make a different font the default (specifically in the DX script editor).

As you stated, Bichur, no retreat, no surrender.

Can't even find the editor with a search.

May have to rephrase to "beaten, but never broken" - key word is may.

I believe that it is somehow internal to the DX builder .exe. I can't find it as a separate app either.
