Changing editor fonts in RAD Studio 2009

Question

I can change the editor font in RAD Studio 2009 under the [Tools][Options] Editor Options/Display settings form, but the list of fonts is very limited and does not show all the installed fonts. Is there any way to add fonts to the selection ?

There is a work around by setting the font name in the registry, under [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\CodeGear\BDS\6.0\Editor\Options].

Answer 1

You can only select fixed width fonts, so yes it is limited. A good resource for some fonts to try is available at Hivelogic.

Answer 2

Fonts are fixed width.

I have good experience with these fonts:

• Courier New (default)
• Consolas
• Lucida Console

The last two are also great alternatives for Console fonts.
