change the SAS LOG window font permanently?

Michelle — Fri, 14 Jan 2022 13:44:12 GMT

OK, I am having one of those days where I can't figure out how to do the most basic things... How do I permanently change the font used for the Log window in SAS (I have 9.3, using SAS for Windows)? I like Inconsolata, it is easier with my poor eyesight.

Thanks!

Michelle

Thanks, I have already changed the font for the Enhance Editor.

What I can't figure out is how to permanently change the font for the Log.

I have figured out how to change the Log for the current session (click on the Log window, then Tools->Options->Font), but want to make this change permanent...

Okey You need to save the settings when you exist.

Try this : Tools ---> Options ----> Preferences

Here tick mark the option " SAVE SETTINGS ON EXIT"

It should solve your problem.

----> right click in the log window

select tools

then options

then fonts

and select the font you prefer

then either

use the "save settings on exit" feature

issue command (in the log window)

===> WSAVE

and remember to close your session properly

and backup your sasuser.profile
