Editor

Use this option to select the font family and size used to display text in the editor. This option affects both the text and grid page of the editor.

Author default font

Use this option to select the font family and size used to display text in the author editor. This value will be used in the case another one is not specified in the CSS associated with the opened document.

Schema default font

Use this option to select the font family and size used to display text in the XML Schema diagram and in the images included in the HTML documentation generated from an XML Schema.

Text antialiasing

Enable text antialiasing at the specified level. On JVM versions prior to 1.6 this combo box contains only the values Default, On and Off. Default means that <oXygen/> will not set anything special for text antialiasing but the JVM will use the setting of the operating system if it is available. The On option sets the text antialiasing to pixel level and the Off option disables it. Starting with version 1.6 the combo contains also values specific for sub pixel antialiasing, like GASP, LCD_HRGB, LCD_VRGB which sets the respective antialiasing mode for the text displayed in the <oXygen/> editors and views.

Text components

Use this option to select the font family and size used to display text in text components. After changing the font one has to restart the application.

GUI

Use this option to select the font family and size used to display GUI labels. After changing the font one has to restart the application.
