sorry for the crappy code but when I press F5 and do ctrl-a and start typing, the font is black and default again... Selecting all text in code and setting character attributes helps but this is not the right way I think, especially when opening and closing files. #include <GuiRichEdit.au3> ;#include <EditConstants.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=C:\Users\Tom Schrauwen\Desktop\EDIT.kxf $Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 301, 221, 192, 124, BitOR($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_GUI,$WS_MAXIMIZEBOX,$WS_SIZEBOX,$WS_THICKFRAME,$WS_TABSTOP)) $MenuItem1 = GUICtrlCreateMenu("File") $MenuItem9 = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Open", $MenuItem1) $MenuItem6 = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Save", $MenuItem1) $MenuItem7 = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Save As", $MenuItem1) $MenuItem8 = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Exit", $MenuItem1) $MenuItem2 = GUICtrlCreateMenu("Edit") $MenuItem15 = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Uppercase", $MenuItem2) $MenuItem14 = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Lowercase", $MenuItem2) $MenuItem13 = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Mark Red", $MenuItem2) $MenuItem12 = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Mark Green", $MenuItem2) $MenuItem11 = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Mark Blue", $MenuItem2) $MenuItem10 = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Unmark", $MenuItem2) $MenuItem17 = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Search And Replace", $MenuItem2) $MenuItem16 = GUICtrlCreateMenu("Settings") $MenuItem19 = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Font", $MenuItem16) $MenuItem18 = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Background", $MenuItem16) $MenuItem3 = GUICtrlCreateMenu("Info") $MenuItem5 = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Help", $MenuItem3) $MenuItem20 = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Document", $MenuItem3) $MenuItem4 = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("About", $MenuItem3) $Edit1 = _GUICtrlRichEdit_Create($Form1, "", 10, 10, 300, 220, -1, 0) ;_GUICtrlRichEdit_SetSel($Edit1, 0, -1) ; temporary fix but not the best solution _GUICtrlRichEdit_SetBkColor($Edit1, 0x000000) _GUICtrlRichEdit_SetCharColor($Edit1, 0xFFFFFF) _GUICtrlRichEdit_SetFont($Edit1, 12, 'Lucida Console') GUICtrlSetData(-1, "Edit1") GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 10, 400, 0, "Consolas") GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0xFFFFFF) GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0x444444) GUICtrlSetResizing(-1, $GUI_DOCKLEFT+$GUI_DOCKRIGHT+$GUI_DOCKTOP+$GUI_DOCKBOTTOM) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) #EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ### While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE _GUICtrlRichEdit_Destroy($Edit1) ; needed unless script crashes Exit case $MenuItem13 _GUICtrlRichEdit_SetCharColor($Edit1, 0x0000FF) case $MenuItem12 _GUICtrlRichEdit_SetCharColor($Edit1, 0x00FF00) case $MenuItem11 _GUICtrlRichEdit_SetCharColor($Edit1, 0xFF0000) case $MenuItem19 _GUICtrlRichEdit_SetCharAttributes($Edit1, "+bo") case $MenuItem6 _GUICtrlRichEdit_StreamToFile($Edit1, @ScriptDir & "\RichEdit.rtf") case $MenuItem9 _GUICtrlRichEdit_StreamFromFile($Edit1, @ScriptDir & "\RichEdit.rtf") EndSwitch WEnd #cs ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- AutoIt Version: 3.3.14.5 Author: myName Script Function: Template AutoIt script. #ce ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; Script Start - Add your code below here As always, thanks for any help!

This was born in a help topic but then I thought I'd be a good UDF to have. The difference between _ChooseFont() and this _ChooseFontEx() , is that it adds: The use of keyword "Default", as default value. Hide parts of the font choosing GUI Uses the proper default color if no color is declared (default) I tested this UDF to work with AutoIt from v3.2.12.1 and the current v3.3.16.1, so it should work in every version. This also copied the Dll calls from other UDFs to this one, to give it independence from otherwise needed additional includes. The Example: #include <_ChooseFontEx.au3> #include <Array.au3> ; for the example Example() Func Example() Local $hParent = GUICreate("Test GUI", 300, 300, @DesktopWidth / 3) For $i = 1 To 7 GUICtrlCreateLabel("label " & $i, 10, $i * 25) Next GUISetState() Sleep(1000) ; used "Arial" as it is found from WinXP to Win11 Local $aFont = _ChooseFont("Arial", 8, 0, 0, False, False, False, $hParent) _ArrayDisplay($aFont, "Example original") $aFont = _ChooseFontEx("Arial", 8, Default, Default, Default, Default, Default, $hParent) _ArrayDisplay($aFont, "Example # 1") $aFont = _ChooseFontEx("Arial", 8, Default, 600, Default, Default, Default, $hParent, 63, "Please choose a font:") _ArrayDisplay($aFont, "Example # 2") Sleep(1000) GUIDelete() EndFunc ;==>Example The UDF: ;~ Opt("MustDeclareVars", 1) ;~ #AutoIt3Wrapper_Au3Check_Parameters=-q -d -w 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w 4 -w 5 -w 6 -w 7 #include-once ; if you're gonna use it as UDF #include <Misc.au3> ; for _ChooseFont() ;~ Global $__ChooseFontEx_Hook_WH_CBT = 5, $__ChooseFontEx_Hook_hProc = 0, $__ChooseFontEx_Hook_hHook = 0, _ ; move to "Global" to make it 3.2.12.1 compatible ;~ $__ChooseFontEx_Hook_iHideThese = 3, $__ChooseFontEx_Hook_sNewWinTitle = "", $__ChooseFontEx_Hook_wParamKept = 0, _ ;~ $__ChooseFontEx_Default_iHideThese = 3, $__ChooseFontEx_Default_sNewWinTitle = "", $__ChooseFontEx_Default_hWndOwner = 0 ; #FUNCTION# ==================================================================================================================== ; Name...........: _ChooseFontEx ; Description ...: Creates a Font dialog box that enables the user to choose attributes for a logical font. ; Syntax.........: _ChooseFont([$sFontName = "Courier New"[, $iPointSize = 10[, $iColorRef = 0[, $iFontWeight = 0[, $iItalic = False[, $iUnderline = False[, $iStrikethru = False[, $hWndOwner = 0[, $iHideThese = 7[, $sNewWinTitle = ""]]]]]]]]]]) ; Parameters ....: $sFontName - Default font name ; $iPointSize - Pointsize of font ; $iColorRef - COLORREF rgbColors ; $iFontWeight - Font Weight ; $iItalic - Italic ; $iUnderline - Underline ; $iStrikethru - Optional: Strikethru ; $hWndOwnder - Handle to the window that owns the dialog box ; $iHideThese - Bitwise: Default is 3 ( SysLink and Script ) ; 1: hide SysLink ; 2: hide Script ; 4: hide Color ( if 4 and 8 , also the GroupBox "Effects" will be hidden ) ; 8: hide underline & strikeout ; 16: hide "Font style" ; 32: hide "Font size" ; $sNewWinTitle - Change the WinTitle ; Return values .: Success - Array in the following format: ; |[0] - contains the number of elements ; |[1] - attributes = BitOr of italic:2, undeline:4, strikeout:8 ; |[2] - fontname ; |[3] - font size = point size ; |[4] - font weight = = 0-1000 ; |[5] - COLORREF rgbColors ; |[6] - Hex BGR Color ; |[7] - Hex RGB Color ; Failure - -1 ; Author ........: argumentum ; https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/209809-_choosefontex/ ; Modified.......: ; Remarks .......: Default keyword friendly.

On the above pic. of the ASCII table, one can see in a "normal" size, the characters below 32. I use this chars. to visualize data and comm stuff, and prefer to see it in Terminal, size 9, 400, but in Win 10 looks tiny, forcing me to use a humongous size. I'd like to see it as I did in WinXP. If anyone knows how to go about it, by tweaking something or installing a replacement font, please let me know. Thanks

I use a monospace font for editing AutoIt scripts in SciTE (currently, CourierNew 9pt). Regardless of what font size I set in the configuration, when I start SciTE to resume editing the script text is one size smaller than I specified. When I type Ctrl+<numpad-slash> the text changes to the desired size. The same is true of the output pane, and I have to reset the size for both areas every time I start SciTE. IIRC, I've made few other changes to the configuration (e.g., changed the search highlight color and disabled Tidy), so this behavior seems odd. About SciTE says it's version 3.6.0 (Aug. 4, 2015). Any idea how to fix this?

Hi, i did some researchs how to set the font and the only way is to overwrite the subclass with WM_DRAWITEM. With WM_SETFONT i can only change the font for all tab pages, but i want to change the font for a specific page. So i have to set the $TCS_OWNERDRAWFIXED style to the tab control to send the WM_DRAWITEM message to the parent window. When i set this style, i can change the fonts, but sadly the tab looses the nice and simple "AutoIt style". I created two child guis, the first is the owner draw tab and the second the "Normal" tab.

Hi all, I would like to know how to check if a specific font is installed in user's system. If it is not installed, my program needs to install the font. (Don't worry about the copy right of the font. it's free) I have got some points from google which directs me into _WinAPI_AddFontResourceEx function. But help file says that this function is only for current session. And i also got the _WinAPI_EnumFontFamilies function too. But before trying any of these, i would like to hear from the masters.

Hello, I need help with loading true type fonts(*.ttf), without installing it. (Font: star_jedi.zip) Thanks star_jedi.zip

In my code, I'm using GUICtrlCreateLabel to create a label and GUICtrlSetFont to set the font. Example... $SELlbl = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Hello World", 8, 8, 286, 24) GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 12, 800, 0, "MS Sans Serif")This works in my GUI unless display settings are changed in Windows 7 from 100% to 125-150%. Then the text is blown up and is misaligned with my GUI. Is there a simple way to ignore the display setting and force the font size?

What is wrong with it ? Edit - I can't change the font color too.

I do not like Charmap, it's too small and you can't test a character with another font, you only get all chars for each font so it's not very handy. SpecialCharactersViewer permit with the Segoe UI Symbol font to display a maximum ( not all! ) of Ascii and Unicode characters. Simple click on a char and the corresponding Chr or ChrW code is displayed. Free to you to choose another font for see if the selected character can be used with. Windows XP do not have Segoe UI Symbol font, so it's more for Win7/Win8 users... Previous downloads : 100 Source : SpecialCharactersViewer v1.0.1.0.au3 Executable : SpecialCharactersViewer.exe.html (Once this html file downloaded, double click on it for start the download) Will be added to the next version of SciTE Hopper. Hope it can help !

I'm trying to create an edit control with Terminal as the font. I'm a big fan of Terminal at the 6x8 size, but I can't figure out a way to set it using GUICtrlSetFont. It seems as though the weight parameter is ignored, and setting the size to anything below 6 gives you the nearly unreadable 4x6 size. Setting it to 6, 7, or 8 gives the hideously distorted 16x8 size, and 9 or 10 sets it as the default, 8x12. Anyone used Terminal 6x8 in an edit control? Any suggestions?
