With this page you select the font size and dialog box scaling for Total Commander. The selected font can be either normal or bold. The selected font and its size is saved for each screen resolution separately, which is very practical when working with different resolutions. When changing the font, Total Commander is automatically resized, but can only reach the size of the screen (as a maximum). You can change the tabstops in the file Windows to fit the files better into the selected size.
 
Field Description
 
Dialog box scaling (does not scale the main window)
Enlarges/Reduces the size of the dialog boxes in Total Commander to the specified value in dots per inch (dpi). The default is the scaling set in Windows control panel. This also scales the font in the dialog boxes. The file list font and main window font will NOT be scaled.
Automatically adjust dialog boxes to larger fonts
If this option is checked and a font larger than the default is chosen in "Dialog box font", the dialog boxes will automatically be scaled for the larger texts.
 
File list font Choose a font for the file lists in Total Commander. Some fonts will not be displayed correctly, like script. The font can be bold or normal, italic is NOT supported.
 
Main window font This sets Total Commander's main window font (file listbox not included).
 
Dialog box font Sets the font for the dialog boxes. Warning: The size of the dialog boxes is NOT adjusted to the font size, unless you check Automatically adjust dialog boxes to larger fonts. You should then choose an 8-10 point font. This option is implemented for languages where the default font (MS Sans Serif, 8) doesn't contain the correct code page, e.g. Japanese.
 
Change font Opens a standard Windows dialog box to choose a font. Its "Character Set" setting is not used on NT based Windows versions. However, if you choose a font which does not contain some of the characters you use, Windows will use a replacement font for these characters.
