Does the latest version of PureBasic provide a way to set the size of the text it displays?

Jim Adrian

It allows setting the font (and font size) for editing text in the IDE.

I don't yet know my way around such things yet. Could you tell me something about the way to access the font control in the IDE? I don't know how to access the IDE.

Thank you for your help.

Do you know what an IDE is? It's the editor. The PureBasic.exe file that you run.
So run it, then: File menu -> Preferences -> Editor -> Editing -> Select font.

I am using a Mac and I don't see how to enter the IDE editor.

The editor is typically what you use to enter and compile a program with.

I thought your original question had to do with the text that is displayed in the editor. Does it instead have to do with text that is displayed when the program is executed (i.e. DrawText(), or with gadgets) ?

I am only concerned with the size of the text while I am trying to compose a program.

When I click on the PureBasic icon in the doc of my iMac, the program comes up and I can select a program to be displayed, but I can find nothing that allows me to change the size of the text.

The next release (currently in beta) will allow the font/size to be changed in the OSX version.
