GDL Editor Fonts

Does anyone know if there is a way to control the fonts in the GDL editor windows?

For some reason, on two different machines running OS 10.4.6, my fonts are different. One is a nice, normal font. The other is this annoying light gray thin font that I can barely read.

Anyone else seen this? Or fixed it?

Go to the editor window into a script. Menu "Edit>Text style". Was this you are looking for?

Looks like someone on "the other" machine has gambled a bit.

How do you mean?

Normally the font does not change by itself, isn't it? I guess there's no hotkey for accidentally changes too. 😉

That's the weird part.... one machine is OK in AC9 but flaky in AC10, the other is flaky in AC9 and OK in AC10.... makes me believe in Gremlins!

I have the same problem with fonts. I work in AC7. The problem has arisen after I have made updating up to R3. When I open window GDL of the editor, the good font " Courier New " which is established in the menu " Edit> Text style " is seen. But during a writing of a script, it varies on narrow font.
Likely it is edited in a file of the register, but I do not know where. Can experts from Graphisoft will help?

I have always had a problem with GDL environment settings reverting to default fonts and window sizes. It seems to happen when editing parts on different machines. I gave up trying to make changes stick. These settings should be in the Work Environment.

Other than that, the GDL environment is a perfect, modern IDE.
