I know that because of portability problem in topic there are only 3 types of fonts available. But very often I need to put custom font. Modyfing by hand tpp file is very annoying and troublesome.

Could this be changed? (That 3 standard fonts can be listed as first and separated by line..)

Interesting, I never needed any other font last 7 years, so sticking with those basic 3 fonts looks like a good idea. Not also that those 3 fonts (sansserif, serif and monospaced) is exactly what html/css and linux/fontconfig support.

Anyway, supporting more fonts is obviuously possible. Maybe as an option?

Thanks Mirek!

(For what I need it? Today at work I wrote a small tool to generate vacation request document (I don't know if I used proper words..). Unfortunately, the report had to have exactely the same layout like someone else defined. And in this layout Arial narrow font was used. I had to write perl script to change all G, R letter in qtf string to !arial narrow!..)

BTW: It would be also nice if one could set distance between lines (like in ms word 1, 1.5, 2..) (I know that I can set before and after values - but it is hard to find values to get the exactely the same distances like in ms word document)

Just wondering the status of this for TheIDE's editor. I have seen that there are more fonts in there now, but I cannot use Courier New with size 10? Can I fix this myself? Can support be built in to select any of the fonts installed in the system for use in the editor?

Well, if you cannot use "10", it is because it is on the screen exactly the same font as "9" (or anything lower that really is in the list).

In other words, there is algorithm that queries the real screen height in pixels and does not list duplicate entries.
