Selecting Fonts in SAS


Question: I find it annoying that the screen font is so large that the entire width of the page cannot be viewed at once -- I have to scroll back and forth, left to right to left. How can I reduce the screen font?

Answer: Click Tools, Options, Fonts and set the parameters as you wish. SASFONT 8 works for me. You can install other fixed fonts (such as Courier New) that you have available in Windows, if you wish. If you are not given the Fonts option, try right clicking in the log or output window and then selecting Tools, Options, Fonts. If you still do not get the Fonts option, use the DLGFONT command to call up the font changing window. Just below the command menu (File Edit View Tools Solutions Window Help) is, on the left, a check button and then a command window. Type DLGFONT in the command window and click the check button.
