Special font features
As opposed to RC based dialogs, Embarcadero dialogs and individual controls can use their own fonts. Controls which do not use their own font inherit the font setting from the parent control.
To change the font of a control, select
To change the font for the dialog and all the controls it contains, choose menu in the dialog view. The selected font is used for the dialog and all controls. The font size is matched proportionately, with attributes such as bold remaining the same. In the dialog for the font selection it is also possible to set the font so that it is used for all dialogs.
As a third option, a font can be selected and set up in the properties of the language which is also used for dialogs. This setting is used for the display as well as the generation of the target files.
The change of fonts is mostly necessary when the font used in the source file is not appropriate for the target language or is not available in the target operating system. For example the font Arial cannot render Japanese characters. In such a case a font like Arial Unicode MS or MS Mincho should be used.
