Xichael Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) Whenever I restart the editor, "Use Monospaced Font" (in the Options menu) gets unchecked.Also, SciTE Config isn't able to switch the font to monospace (though it does successfully save the font face and size), and after restarting it, the font check box is always set back to proportional.Both of these options are failing to keep SciTE set to monospace. Is there something else I can try? Edited January 7, 2016 by Xichael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincor Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Have you checked whether your SciTE or maybe even just its configuration files are write-protected? Check the read-only flag, the location of those files, and the rights of your windows user. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 What I do on my systems is to use the same font for both monospaced and non-monospaced font styles. I never use a non-monospace font so it makes no difference (to me) that I don't have one selected. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

Xichael Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Have you checked whether your SciTE or maybe even just its configuration files are write-protected?use the same font for both monospaced and non-monospaced font stylesSciTE Config is writing changes to the file just fine. Here are the top lines of %LocalAppData%\AutoIt v3\SciTE\SciTEUser.properties after changing both the monospace and proportional fonts:font.monospace=font:Source Code Pro,size:12 font.base=font:Source Code Pro,size:12Yet here is a screenshot of SciTE Config's font settings after restarting it:Only the font.monospace line is being honored. Both SciTE Config and SciTE itself seem to be ignoring font.base line.Is some other config file overriding this SciTEUser.properties file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developers Jos Posted January 8, 2016 Developers Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) Do you have this still in your SciTEGlobal.properties:if PLAT_WIN font.base=font:Verdana,size:10,$(font.override) font.small=font:Verdana,size:8,$(font.override) font.comment=font:Comic Sans MS,size:9,$(font.override) font.code.comment.box=$(font.comment),$(font.override) font.code.comment.line=$(font.comment),$(font.override) font.code.comment.doc=$(font.comment),$(font.override) font.code.comment.nested=$(font.comment),$(font.override) font.text=font:Times New Roman,size:11,$(font.override) font.text.comment=font:Verdana,size:9,$(font.override) font.embedded.base=font:Verdana,size:9,$(font.override) font.embedded.comment=font:Comic Sans MS,size:8,$(font.override) font.vbs=font:Lucida Sans Unicode,size:10,$(font.override) font.monospace=font:Courier New,size:10 font.override=$(font.monospace)Jos Edited January 8, 2016 by Jos SciTE4AutoIt3 Full installer Download page - Beta files Read before posting How to post scriptsource Forum etiquette Forum Rules Live for the present, Dream of the future, Learn from the past.

Developers Jos Posted January 9, 2016 Developers Share Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) When both SciTE and SciTE config do not honer the font.override=$(font.monospace) then I can only assume there is something changed in a config somewhere.Looking at the 2 lines you've posted again in detail, I guess you made a manual change for the font.base line which should read:font.monospace=font:Source Code Pro,size:12 font.base=font:Arial,size:10,$(font.override)Jos Edited January 9, 2016 by Jos SciTE4AutoIt3 Full installer Download page - Beta files Read before posting How to post scriptsource Forum etiquette Forum Rules Live for the present, Dream of the future, Learn from the past.
