4.10 The font selector dialog                                 TeraDesk

The font selector  dialog  opens upon clicking the 'Directory font' or
the 'Viewer font' in the  Window options... dialog.  On the top of the
dialog is a scrollable listbox  from which a font can be chosen  (only
monospaced fonts are displayed).  Below the listbox,  on the left side
of the dialog,  is shown  sample text in the selected font.  Font size
and colour can be selected from available ones, and additional effects
such as  bold or  underlined writing can be  specified as well (except
for directory window font).

If the displayed sample text  is clicked upon,  it can be previewed in
the selected state, which can help the user in selecting  a convenient
window font. Text is displayed  on a background  identical to  the one
selected for windows.

If FONTSELECT  environment  variable  is set  (see The FONT Protocol),
TeraDesk  can open this dialog  as a   system-wide  font selector upon
receiving the  FONT_SELECT message  from another application.  In such
case  proportional fonts  are selectable too,  beside  the  monospaced
ones.
