very short question:

[jennico]

this is simple but i can't find it nowhere:

on creating gui what is the default font used by autoit, the size (should be 9 ?) and the weight (default 400 = normal) ?

it is not the system's setting, i tried this.

second question: can i set the default font for an entire program instead of just for one gui ?

well okay, maybe i am stupid and i cannot read.

AND MAYBE I AM NOT ABLE TO USE THE HELP FILE.

:-(

but more likely there is no answer to my question.

so i try it once more:

this is simple but i can't find it nowhere:

on creating gui what is the default font used by autoit, the size (should be 9 ?) and the weight (default 400 = normal) ?

it is not the system's setting, i tried this.

second question: can i set the default font for an entire program instead of just for one gui ?

PLEASE:

in other words:

1. What is the default font that autoit uses when you do not set a font ??????

i repeat: it is NOT right that the OS default font is used. i tried that.

2. How can i change the default font for the entire program, not for every single gui ???????? (if possible)

maybe someone with the will and the capability of reading and answering questions is reading this and gives me a more competent answer than: "read the help file".

thank you indeed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

okay, i will try to precise my question:

according to the mentioned help file the default font should be size=9, weight=400, fontname=OS default GUI font.

but what is the OS default GUI font ? how can i retrieve it ?

it is definitely NOT returned by the SystemParametersInfo (which refers to the "display properties/display/advanced" settings).

it is definitely NOT the font you can find in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes under "MS Shell Dlg" or "MS Shell Dlg 2".

neither of the fonts i find in SystemParametersInfo or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes match the font used in an autoit gui. this can be revealed by trying guisetfont(9,400,0,......) with the found font. but it is NOT the same.

so please: anyone can answer my question ?
