====== Fonts ======

There are several ways to change font name or font size in HippoEDIT.

**[[options:syntax:font_and_colors|Font face]]** or **[[options:syntax:font_and_colors|font size]]** settings in HippoEDIT is syntax related and so should be changed in syntax related settings.
For example to change font for Plain Text documents (files with extension *.txt or *.log) you need to go to Tools-//>Options->Syntax Settings->Plain Text->Fonts & Colors// and then change font name in Font combo. The first entry in the list (normally called Use from Default) tells HippoEDIT that font name should be taken from parent [[terms:syntax-schema|syntax schema]]. List of parent syntaxes is shown in breadcrumb control on top. For example Use from Default mean, inherit font name from default schema. 

If you want to change [[options:syntax:font_and_colors|font name]] for ALL syntaxes, just change [[options:syntax:font_and_colors|font name]] of Default [[terms:syntax-schema|syntax schema]]. All other schemes inherited from it and by default use font name of it.

To jump to the [[options:syntax:font_and_colors|Font & Colors]] setting for current language faster you can use (when some document open) or context menu on [[view:pane:overview_bar|Overview bar]] or //Tools->Syntax settings//  (here is name of current language)  shortcut. 

The easiest way to change the **font size** is using the mouse wheel, keeping Ctrl.
Another way is with the help of [[view:status|status bar]], where you can as select some predefined scale factor or enter an exact value. 
**Font size** changed in such way is __not persisted__, and reset in the new session to the default value.

To change in fixed manner, you can use the way described for [[options:syntax:font_and_colors|Font face]].
