SUMMARY
Q+E for Microsoft Excel for Windows uses the System 8 font by default. In version 2.5 and later, you can specify a different default font by choosing Font from the Layout menu.

The information below explains how to set the default font in both the Windows and OS/2 environments.

Q+E Versions 2.5 and 3.0 for Windows or Q+E Version 3.0 for OS/2
To specify the default font:


 * 1) From the Layout menu, choose Font.
 * 2) Select the desired font.
 * 3) Check the Set Default check box.
 * 4) Choose OK.

In Q+E for Windows versions 2.5 and 3.0, this setting will be stored in your WIN.INI file so that the next time you run Q+E, this font will be the default. Q+E for OS/2 will store this setting in your QE.INI file.

Q+E Versions 2.1 and 2.1c for Windows
To specify a default font, enter the following statement in the [Q+E] section of the WIN.INI file

font=font_name,point_size where &quot;font_name&quot; is the name of a font listed when you choose the Font option from the Layout menu in Q+E. Similarly, &quot;point_size&quot; is a number chosen from a list in the same dialog as the fonts. For example: font=Courier,10 Q+E versions 2.1 and 2.1c support only nonproportional fonts such as System and Courier. If a proportional font is listed in this section, Q+E defaults to the System font.
