How can I change the font in the IDE console panel?

Post by Kurzer »

Hello fellows,

Maybe I'm overlooking something, but I'm wondering how I can change the font in the PureBasic IDE console. I'm referring to the panel below the area where the source code is edited; the area where the internal debugger displays its output. I'm currently using PB 6.21 x64

It has a font that displays numbers in a very “fancy” way. I would like to change this, but I can't find a setting in the IDE settings that changes it. Not even under “Debugger / Individual Settings / Custom Character Set.”

Does anyone know where I can change this setting?

Thank you very much in advance
Kurzer

Thanks for the quick tip, Stargate. That works.
I would have preferred to set it separately, but at least this way I can choose a font that works reasonably well for both panels.

FYI : Strangely enough, this option doesn't exist on MacOS
