I just started taking an online course for computer science learning Python. I use PyScripter, and at the site, the examples are in "Source Code Pro". I really like that font, and have already downloaded it and use it in Notepad++, but I would also like to know how to use it in PyScripter, but I cannot find anywhere in the editing panels or context menus that allow for font changing. (Additionally, the text is too small).
I don't know if Stack Overflow is a great place for this as I think SO is meant for actual programmatic problems, but I've googled everywhere and this is my last resort.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Edit: I am using PyScripter for Python 2.7 (for now) on Windows XP Professional. I would also like to not have to use skin editors, as I only want to change the font family.
Configuration for this answer: Pyscripter 2.4.3.0 (latest at this time) on Windows XP SP3 with numerous fonts already installed and available in Pyscripter. Python26 and Python27 installed.
Note: The helpfile says "Pyscripter requires the use of monospace or non-proportional fonts."
Procedure:
- Searched for and downloaded Source Code Pro (v1.017)
- Installed it per instructions
- Pyscripter Tools menu > Options > Editor Options
- Display tab > click Font
- Select "Source Code Pro" from list of fonts
- Select Style and Size if desired
- Press OK to accept Font options
- Press OK to accept Edition options and apply settings to current environment
- Source Code Pro is now the default font
