Changing NB Draft Font

[ArtHXy@nospam.aol.com]

Maybe this info has been already posted in the NB list, but in case it 
hasn't... 

In the Xy mailing list, NB's Anne Putnam wrote that the undocumented command 
DMFONT can be used to *permanently* change the draft font in NBWin.

But there are difficulties, she advised: an ANSI based monospaced font must 
be used (e.g., Courier New TT); the euroquotes for programming functions are 
displayed, on the command line, as the registered-trademark symbol and a 
macron (?), though no harm is done; and the change is "permanent." ("We have 
not documented this command, and, at this point, we do not recommend using 
it," she said.)

Robert Orndorff then posted a way to beat the "permanent" aspect of this. 
Changing the font with DMFONT seems to have the sole result of creating a 
tiny new file in the C:\Windows subdirectory, called swlocal.ini. As long as 
this file is there, the new font is in effect. If this file is deleted (and 
deleting it seems to do no harm), the draft font reverts to its default. So a 
new font can be picked, and un-picked.

My original draft font was too huge to write with pleasantly. I invoked 
DMFONT and have been using my new font, Courier 10 pt., for a few days and it 
seems to work fine in NBWin 5.004; I can live with the misdisplayed 
euroquotes on the command line; I am happy. In addition, the font on the 
command line has also changed, and is larger (same Courier as draft font).
