How to set CVI 9.0 editor font?!

[Believer]

I'm sure I've missed the obvious - but I cannot set the source window font size....

Despite setting every single font available to 8pt and exiting the app - it is still the same.

You can see it in the image below how the main text in the editor window is still large while the trees on the left are small.

There must be some other menu option available...?

Thanks,

Ronnie

Hi,

I have just tried it with CVI 2009 and found that it is not even possible to change the font style of the editor, say from NIEditor to Courier... you cannot increase font size as well, so for the source window font it is not possible to change anything...

Hey guys - 

I think this issue you're running into is that both Courier and NIEditor are bitmap fonts, which don't scale well (not to mention the fact that they look the same as each other).  Once you go big enough, you'll see the font size increase, but there are no available smaller font sizes.  To see the difference, try Courier New, or my personal favorite - Consolas, which are both TrueType fonts:
