In Clarion 9.1 and 10 you can change the fonts for the IDE. This makes it easy to customize the IDE to look the way you want it to. \u00a0Personally I change the environment fonts to Segoe UI 9pt for dialogs and listboxes and Segoe UI 17pt for the Start page.<\/p>\n

I use good, old, boring Courier New 10pt for the editor but you might want to try Consolas, Lucinda Console or some other fonts. \u00a0Somehow I have ended up with one of Adobe's font on my laptop,\u00a0\"Source Code Pro\" which comes in several different versions (black, semi-bold, light, extra-light) \u00a0The normal one looks pretty good, but I haven't really used it. \u00a0I have also used Droid Sans Mono<\/a> which is a Google font. \u00a0If you want to find fonts to use in your editor, something other than Courier New, then go to\u00a0fontsquirrel<\/a>\u00a0and have a look around.<\/p>\n

Note that you must restart the IDE for the\u00a0font changes to show. \u00a0This applies to all the font settings, also the Text Editor settings, which is a bit of a bother as you have to restart the IDE just to see how the fonts look like. \u00a0My suggestion is to load some code into WordPad and use it to pick a font that looks good to you and start from there. \u00a0WordPad has a nice feature where it will automatically reformat the text when you hover over a font in the font selection drop-down so it's easy to see how the font will affect the code. \u00a0See the video below for a demonstration.<\/p>\n

Hope this will help you set up your environment to your liking:)<\/p>\n

Update:<\/strong><\/em> \u00a0Here is an article, while from 2010, contains a nice collection of monospaced programming fonts:
