Change Default ANSI Font

[tomcain]

I often use IV to convert text files to image files. When I open a text file in IV, it displays using the Windows system font which is a pretty ugly fixed-width font. I have the Options | Properties/Settings | Browsing/Editing option set to "ANSI font". I have also tried "ASCII font" and "ANSI thin font" but do not find these fonts to be acceptable either. Is there a way to change the default "ANSI Font" to one of my choosing? Thanks.

Hmmm, I convert Text files to images too, occasionally. I take a screen shot of the page displaying the text and cut to size (Control-Y). This way, I retain the font, style, color, attributes, etc.!

Apart from taking a screen shot from Notepad, you could also use the text editor from IrfanPaint.

• Create a new image large enough for the amount of text you want to convert to an image
• Copy the text to the clipboard — it will need to have line breaks in the right place
• Open the IrfanPaint toolbar (F12) and click the text cursor at top left of your blank image
• Select the font and font size, colour, etc., you want to use and paste the text
• You can preview your text to see how it looks, or just use undo and try again

Thanks, Bhikkhu, I will give that a try.
