Font & Colors Preferences for the Editor/Debugger

Use Font & Colors preferences to specify the font and colors used in files in the Editor/Debugger.

Font

Editor/Debugger font preferences specify the characteristics of the font used in files in the Editor/Debugger. Select Use desktop font if you want the font in the files to be the same as that specified under General - Font & Colors. If you want the font for Editor/Debugger files to be different, select Use custom font and specify the font characteristics:

• Type, for example, Lucida Console
• Style, for example, Plain
• Size in points, for example, 12 points

After you make a selection, the Sample area shows how the font will look.

You can specify different font characteristics for printing files from the Editor - see Printing Preferences for the Editor/Debugger.

Colors

Specify the colors used in files in the Editor/Debugger:

• Text color - The color of nonspecial text; special text uses colors specified for Syntax highlighting.
• Background color - The color of background in the window.
• Syntax highlighting - The colors to use to highlight syntax. If checked, click Set Colors to specify them. For a description of syntax highlighting, see Syntax Highlighting.
