Tooltips' font

Post by marfi »

Why??? Why tooltip's font has been changed from nice and handy monospace to (probably) system font? My system font is Sans 9 and nearly all tooltips exceed the screen width so I can't see its whole content now.... :( Is there any way how to set the tooltip's font? And the output panels' font? Btw. maybe it would be a good idea to display tooltips in such way they will be whole visible - now, if the (even short) tooltip is displayed at the right side of the editor, you can see nothing....

Since on most computers, the monospace font is larger than the GUI default font. and it was changed from the exact reason you mentioned.

No.

Point taken. I will make this configurable.

Thanx, that would be a nice feature. I have also one suggestion for output panel's behaviour: in some panels the font's size can be changed via ctrl+mouse wheel. It would be nice if this change was persistent.

Hi,
it is nice to hear about that but I'm using SVN 2581 and all fonts are just like before... How works the fix you wrote about?

settings -> synatx highlight & fonts

Once this dialog is loaded, you will need to load defaults, (otherwise you wont see the new option at the bottom)

Once clicked 'Defaults', scroll down in the list box, and you will see 'Calltip' -> select the calltip font & size and you are set
