The chosen font seems to apply everywhere. I like to use Consolas Monospaced Font for the Text Window (I do not use Rich Text in AS), but this does not fit well in many other parts of AS and is inefficient of space, e.g. Options > General Settings > "Settings Folder" overtypes the user setting.

So, is there a way to a different font for the Text Window, if not I would like to suggest the option for the future.

As an aside/observation, of no great importance and probably not something I would do often; if I copypaste from FHv7 Text from Source into the AS text window, all the "end of lines" are lost so it becomes 1 long string of text. But, if I paste into Notepad++, it is OK, then capypaste that into the AS text window it works fine!

No it isn't possible currently to specify a different font for the plain source text but I'll add it to the list of possible future enhancements.

I'll also see if there's anything that can be done about the paste although I think I'm just using the built-in paste currently.

Nick, thanks for those comments.

Neither are critical, but I know that sometimes a simple request can be difficult to implement, but others quite simple.

Re the pasting, I was intrigued more than anything, I can only imagine it is something to do with CRLF etc and that by going via my default Notepad++ UTF-8, it matches AS.

Yes that was my guess too.
