Figure 274: Fonts dialog
The Custom fonts section determines which font will be used when the attribute font serif, font
sans or font fixed is specified.
To change a font, first click on Modify and choose the type of entry you wish to modify. The Fonts
dialog opens, showing all the fonts available on your system.

The Font text input box uses predictive text as you type to assist locating the wanted font. If you do
not know its name, use the scrollbar to scroll through them. Click on any name and the preview
box will show a sample.
Variables should be written in italics, so make sure that the Italic box is checked. For all other
elements, use the basic (Roman) form. The style can be easily altered in the formula itself by using
the commands italic or bold to set these characteristics and nitalic or nbold to unset
them.
When you have chosen a new font for a formula, the old font remains in the list alongside the new
one and can be selected again. This applies only to the current session; the old font is not stored
permanently.
