Global: Fonts...

Keystroke: f from Global menu.

This dialog allows you to select the default font and size for both on-screen display and your printer output.

Please note: Fixed width fonts are listed first in alphabetical sequence, followed by proportional fonts also in alphabetical sequence.

Please ensure you select a font which supports the language you wish to display. Arabic fonts, for example, do not work with English text.
