Hi,
how is it possible to add fonts to this list ?
(gretl on windows)
There is a button for 'more fonts', but I don't quite understand why it
opens the control panel and how to add then a font.
Cheers

You'll have to consult your Windows manual (heh!).
That button has nothing to do with gretl, it's provided by the
native Windows font selection dialog.

Let's see what I find (but Consolas works fine though).
Have a nice weekend

Hi,
How many fonts does the average GRETL user see in his list?
I think that the reason for only 3 fonts in my list for GRETL appearance
and scripting lies in
'fonts.conf' since it configures system font access. There is no
'local.conf' to make local changes. What should such a file look like?
I already installed new fonts which then were available in e.g. Excel,
hence it's a GRETL specific issue.
Greetings

Again, it's not a gretl thing. It's an OS issue. In a previous message,
you said you use windows; if you ask me, this is a sin which entails its
own punishment, but I digress. I'm no GUI expert, but Allin explained it
to you already in a previous message: Gretl simply asks the OS "what fonts
do you have for me?" and receives an answer. The reason why Excel asks the
same question and receives a different answer is beyond me, but certainly
has nothing to do with gretl. You'll have to ask some windows guru.

What you're choosing via that dialog box is the monospaced font
("fixed-pitch" in Windows-speak) in which gretl's fixed-format
output will display (e.g. output from model estimation).
When gretl calls the Windows font selector it therefore restricts
your selection to monospaced fonts. On Windows 7 I'm seeing the
following choice: Consolas, Courant, Courier New, Letter Gothic,
Lucida Console, Lucida Sans Typewriter and Prestige Elite.
Believe me, gretl's output will look stupid and broken in a
proportionally spaced font such as Arial or Times -- so we do
everyone a favor by not showing such fonts.

Thanks for the clarification.
I believe u :-)
