Font & Colors Preferences for the Command Window

Font

Command Window font preferences specify the characteristics of the font used in the Command Window. Select Use desktop font if you want the font in the Command Window to be the same as that specified for General Font & Colors preferences.

If you want the Command Window font to be different, select Use custom font and specify the font characteristics for the Command Window:

• Type, for example, SansSerif
• Style, for example, bold
• Size in points, for example, 12 points

After you make a selection, the Sample area shows how the font will look.

Colors

Specify the colors used in the Command Window:

• Text color--The color of nonspecial text. Special text uses colors specified for Syntax highlighting.
• Background color--The color of the background in the window
• Syntax highlighting--The colors to use to highlight syntax. If checked, click Set Colors to specify them. For a description of syntax highlighting, see Syntax Highlighting and Parentheses Matching.
