7.4. Fonts

Font

Font used to display the text of attributes and also in several other places of GUI where the text of attributes is displayed or edited. There are two possible formats of values for this option:

  1. Standard X font-spec, with possible wildcards, e.g.: -*-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-2

  2. Font attribute-oriented format, which is a comma-separated list of pairs of the form font-attribute:value. The attributes are: family, size, weight, slant, underline, overstrike. Family is a font-family name like Arial, Helvetica or Times New Roman. Size is a number providing the font-size in points (i.e. not pixels!). Possible values for bold are normal and bold, possible values for slant are roman and italics. The underline and overstrike attributes take just boolean values of 1 and 0. If a font, that would match the specified attributes exactly, is not found, the most similar font is used.

    Example

    Font = family:Arial,size:10,weight:bold

VLineFont

Font used for displaying the text in the value line above tree. The same formats as for Font are allowed for this option. If not specified, Font is used.
