Screen Fonts

With Options - Select Fonts you can select screen fonts.

This editor only handles fonts with fixed spacing. On every system, different fonts can be installed. On a Windows system, fonts for files with IBM codepage are distinguished from fonts for files with Windows codepage. This is the reason why some fonts are disabled in the menu.

When starting the editor the very first time, the program asks the operating system for the available fonts and these fonts are saved in the file edifonts.ini which resides (besides Windows Vista) in the same directory as the program executable. You can edit this file by yourself. If you delete the file, it gets recreated when starting the editor the next time. With Windows, only a selection of fonts is generated: "Courier", "Terminal", "Fixedsys", "Courier", "System VIO" (if installed), "Lucida" and "Consolas" (Vista only). You can select additional fonts with the font dialog, these fonts get appended to the edifonts.ini file.
