How to change font size in Editor ?

[ptyxs]

I am a quite new user (running C::B on a Mandriva Linux 2008.0).
I find that the characters size in the Editor zone is quite small. Is it possible to change it ??

In "Settings -> Editor... -> General Settings" click "Choose".
It's the button in the top-right corner.

At least on window, you can also use Ctrl+scroll to zoom in or out. It is provided by scintilla but does not change the font size.

Both hints work fine. Thanks !

Does ctrl+CapsLock also does the zoom out? I had accidentally pressed ctrl+capslocak and the text in my editor window become small. Didnot know how to get it back to original. Is there a keyboard shortcut to back out? ie. zoom in?

CTRL + mouse wheel up/down.

I know this method, but...
I have just too many fonts installed in my system such that mere loading the font dialog would crash C::B.
Is there a way to change the font by editing C::B configuration files?

What do you mean by too many? What OS are you running?
You can edit the default.conf file, but it is not recommended.
It is better to report the problem properly and someone to try to fix it.

I am on Windows 7 (64-bit) and uses the latest nightly build (svn 12198) of C::B.

There are 2,520 files in my C:\Windows\Fonts totaling up to 12GB+ in size. Whenever I push the "choose" button the system font dialog appears but freezes immediately (possibly due to enumerating so many fonts), and then C::B crashes soon.

Below is the codeblocks.RPT of my most recent crash:

And I checked the default.conf file but have no clue to what to edit to make the change.

Are you able to select the font in other applications?
What happens if you find the font wx sample (probably you'll have to build it) and test it? Would it work?
As far as I know people in your situation use font manager application - they enable the fonts they need when they need them or do the font selection in a separate app and after they've selected a font they like they copy it to the system folder.

I guess you have to search for something like this?

Code: [Select]

<FONT>
<str>
<![CDATA[Fira Code 9]]>
</str>
</FONT>

Are you able to select the font in other applications?

Yes, I managed to load the font selection dialog in the system's Notepad.exe.

What happens if you find the font wx sample (probably you'll have to build it) and test it? Would it work?

Sorry but I don't know what the "font wx sample" is (e.g.where to obtain it).


Also, There wasn't a <FONT></FONT> section in my default.conf file, and trying to insert such a section such as

Code: [Select]

        ......
<editor>
<FONT>
<str>
<![CDATA[Courier New 10]]>
</str>
</FONT>
<colour_sets>
<default />
</colour_sets>
<caret />
<gutter />
<margin />
<selection />
<eol />
<folding />
               .......
results in further errors (see the attached pic).

[oBFusCATed]

Does selecting the font work in notepad++ or codelite (it uses the same technology as codeblocks, so it should fail similarly if it is not a cb problem)?

I can't help with the correct font string. Generally it is not something users are supposed to edit by hand.
The sample is here https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/tree/master/samples/font

[Miguel Gimenez]

This is my font data (MSW)

Code: [Select]

<FONT>
<str>
<![CDATA[1;10.2;-17;0;0;0;400;0;0;0;0;3;2;1;49;Fira Code]]>
</str>
</FONT>

The string is generated with this code called from wxFont::GetNativeFontInfoDesc()

Code: [Select]

s.Printf(wxT("%d;%s;%d;%d;%d;%d;%d;%s;%d"),
             1,                                 // version
             wxString::FromCDouble(GetFractionalPointSize()),
             family,
             (int)style,
             weight,
             underlined,
             strikethrough,
             faceName.GetData(),
             (int)encoding);


[Pchief]

Here comes my test result:
wx font sample(latest git clone): crashes when clicking on menu select -> select font, due to failure of the same module fms.dll (the font selection dialog does not even show up)

codelite 13.0.0 : successfully loads the font dialog


Notepad++ (as well as most apps I use, by the way) do not call the system's font dialog. Instead, they either offer a drop-down style combo box for font choosing or allow direct editing of the config files (e.g. SciTE) to specify fonts.

[oBFusCATed]

Can you report this to wxWidgets developers?
