Code View automatic font re-size?

I have been using DW8 on a Mac, 10.3, and there is this lttle
thing that keeps bugging me, gently but persistently:
when working in Code View, if the document I am editing
starts to get a little large, the Code View display's font
automatically resizes (a bit smaller) without regard for the
display settings in Preferences.
I searched a bit through the forums and by googling, but I
couldn't see much about this.
Again, it's no big deal, but I was wondering if this was
typical behavior and, mostly, if there was any way to disengage it?
It's a mildly annoying aspect of an otherwise great product I use
continuously.
Any help or thoughts would be appreciated.

In your preferences, or Cmd/Control U.
It's under Fonts category for the size, and under the Code
Coloring category for changing what colors are for what keywords
etc.

Code view not in synch with Design view (Dreamweaver CS3)

Hello All,
On my main work PC, I am running Dreamweaver CS3. When I am
working in split view (with both Design and Code view visible) when
I click on an element (say, a button) in Design view, the code view
automatically shows me the code for the element that I am working
on. That way, if I need to manually edit the code, I can click on
the Code view and make the appropriate changes.
On my laptop I am also running Dreamweaver CS3 However, when
I am working in split view and I click on a element in Design view,
my code view does NOT update itself and continues to show the last
bit of code I was working on in Code view. While this could come in
handy at times where i want design view and code view to show me
two different things, I mostly would like code view to update
automatically. Currently the only way I can get code view to update
on my laptop is to hit the "refresh design view (F5)" button. Is
there a way to do this automatically? Is this an option in
Dreamweaver preferences because I don't see it anywhere.
Thanks so much for your help.

No. If you feel that it's an important enhancement that you
would like
to see in future versions, submit a feature request:

The more people who request a specific feature, the more
likely it is to
be implemented.

Setting font size for code view

On my 19" desktop monitor the text size in code view is easy enough to read, but on my hi resolution 17" laptop it is really, really tiny. I can't find any prefs setting or another way to make the font for code view larger. Is there such a setting somewhere? (Yes, I can change the resolution settings for the laptop but this is not preferable because the screen is blurry at anything other than the native 1920 x 1200 pixels.) Thanks.

Play around with the preferences shown above to see what works for you. I changed mine recently to use Consalas font and it's much better than the default :-)

Setting up prefs for code view fonts and sizes

using cs5
i copied some pages in from another computer... the fonts and sizes in code view are too small.
in prefs - fonts - I made them bigger - then said apply source formatting
but they don't always seem to stick - maybe the next day they are small again
Q: how do I get font pref settings to work for all sites all the time?
thanks in advance - dave

Such settings are not carried in from external pages, they are part of your preferences. In other words, opening a page could not change your existing preferences.

Code View Font Size Won't Stick

I changed the font size that gets displayed in code view. I
get the new font size for new documents, but older documents keep
the older (smaller) font size.
I tried recreating these documents, and that doesn't help.
Using CS4 on a Mac w/ Leopard.
Please advise.
Thanks.

Any ideas on this? No idea how to fix...

DW Code View font different for one .aspx than all others???

Mornin' All!
I can't for the life of me figure out why the font in this
one .aspx (welcome.aspx) is different than all other files on this
site. When I go EDIT > PREFERENCES > FONTS here is what is
shown when welcome.aspx is the file currently opened:
Font Settings: Japanese
Code View: MS Gothic Size: 10pt (small)
I tried changing this from "Japanese" to Western European,
but after I click OK nothing happens, and when I go back in to Font
Preferences it's back to Japanese.
Welcome2.aspx and all other pages show these settings: (this
is how the code view has looked on ALL pages until today)
Font Setting: Western European
Code View: Courier New Size: 9pt
What do I need to do to get welcome.aspx to let go of the
Japanese font settings?
Thanks in advance,
Ron

Bug in Code View font spacing - very annoying...

Hello,
I encounter a really annoying bug in the last version of Dreamweaver CC. The font in Code View is too spaced in the new version...
See below for screenshots from CS6 and CC to see the difference.
I'm using the font Courier New 9pt in both version...
Please advise.
Screenshots.
Dreamweaver CS6
Dreamweaver CC - Notice the font spacing

I've managed to change the font to "Source Code Pro" in the Regeditor here: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Dreamweaver CC\Font Preferences.
Style, the font is not as good as it was with Courier New... And Courier New is not working... I'm looking to have a normal Courier New in CC... Or at least anothe similar font... Not light as Source Code Pro...
Thanks
See screenshots below:

Why won't Dreamweaver code view allow me to select from all of my system fonts?

I am trying to change the font for my code view in Dreamweaver CC. However, it does not let me choose from a list of all fonts installed on my computer...it just gives me about 50 or so random fonts (some of them glyph fonts which are completely useless in this scenario). It doesn't even include basics like Courier. I had previously been using CS4, and it allowed me to choose any font I wanted. Any ideas?

I've just checked Dreamweaver CC on my MacBook Air. I don't know whether it lists every single font on my machine, but the list was very long. It certainly wasn't just a short, random list. Are you trying to change the Code view font in the right place?

ClearType makes fonts in Dreamweaver code view hard to read

I'm using Dreamweaver 8.0.2 with Windows Vista Business. As
you know, Vista has a feature called "ClearType," which is supposed
to help smooth out the on-screen fonts. It normally does do this,
but for some reason, in Dreamweaver code view, some of the edges of
fonts are cut off, making it very difficult to read at times. See
pic here:
http://www.klife.com/fontscutoff.jpg
I've tried changing the display fonts within Dreamweaver
(from Courier New to Arial, etc.), but it doesn't help. Actually,
Arial is worse. But here's what fixes it: turning off ClearType. I
haven't noticed ClearType messing any fonts up in programs except
for Dreamweaver. Why is DW doing this and is there anything I can
do to get ClearType to work with it?

You might want to try Clear Type Tuner. It is a Microsoft
tool to let you
adjust your clear type settings to your liking. It was
written for XP. I'm
not sure if they have a Vista version out yet, but the XP
version might
work.

Here is an online version, which I have not tried.

Dreamweaver CC automatically deletes code in code view and elements in design view

When I open a file in Dreamweaver, it automatically shows a * next to the filename - showing it has been edited.
Then often when I select some code in code view, or an element in design view (such as a table, an image, some text) it is suddenly deleted.
The problem is especially bad (happens without fail) if I am switching between programs. But also happens when I'm not switching.
I do not have this problem on a different user account.
I have reinstalled Dreamweaver three times now. Also renamed preference and configuration folders. Tried with a wired mouse and keyboard. Nothing has worked.
I can't think what I did to cause this. I installed MAMP recently - but have uninstalled it correctly I think.
I had an issue with one file in which there were about 30 Spry collapsible panels. I kept getting this warning:
"A script in file Macintosh HD:Applications:Adobe Dreamweaver CC:Configuration:Shared:Spry:DesignTime:EditingUtils.js has been running for a long time. Do you want to continue?"
I have to click 'yes' many times to get into the file, and the warning keeps coming up while the file is open.
However, my big issue of DW CC deleting code and elements happens whether or not this particular file is open.
So this may have nothing to do with it.
Any ideas anyone?
Adobe's customer service has not helped. In fact, I have not even been able to get through to anyone on the phone - having waited literally hours listening to music, and getting shunted from person to person. And then their promised 'call backs' never happen.
Thanks,
- Greg

Dreamweaver code view problem with Turkish fonts

All my preferences is set to Turkish encoding, but only at the code window Turkish characters aren't displayed right. If i type directly into the code window, everything is ok. but if i write something to design windowi the characters change automatically. i'm attaching a picture to show.
thanks in advance.

What you see there is not a problem. It's the expected result.
When the Web first started, it supported only unaccented characters. So, to create letters like ö, it was necessary to use HTML entities, which is what you see in Code view.
Nowadays, browsers support Unicode (UTF-8), which doesn't need to convert accented characters.
Go into Preferences (from the Edit menu on Windows, Dreamweaver window on a Mac), and select the New Document category. Set encoding to UTF-8. To change existing pages, use Modify > Page Properties, and select Title/Encoding.
With UTF-8, ö will still be ö in Code view.

How do you change the FILE "print code" resulting printed font size?

I would like to adjust the "Print Code" resulting printed document font size. Though the changes can be made in display font for the Code window via a file or the Preferences Menu, I cannot find the style information to change the Print Code.
Thanks

Thanks again for your reply.
I would like the code print out font to be a smaller size. Currently, it ls printing at 12 pt Monaco ( I can emulate this exactly by printing the same document in an editor set as Monaco 12pt ). However, the settings (see below) are set at Monanco 9pt. This works on the screen, but not for printing.
http://goo.gl/eXhnz > screenshot of Setting show "smallest".
Yet the code:print gives me more characters per line, resulting in many more pages per printout. The "print preview" shown in my last message is exactly what the printed page looks like as well.
NOTE: with the same settings ("smallest Monaco 9pt), Dreamweaver CS3 on OSX *does* code:print the smaller size, though without color coding. Dreamweaver CS 5 on my system does not.
Thank you.

Unable to view Code 128 Barcode Font

I have Acrobat Reader v8.1.2 running on a Windows XP machine. I have a Code 128 Barcode True Type font which is used to display the barcode data. I am using Cognos to generate some report and in this report I have column which shows the Code 128 barcode font. When I view the report via Cognos, I am able to see the barcode. However, when I view the same report in Acrobat Reader I am unable able to view the barcode. Cognos has an option where I can view the existing report in PDF format.
Is there any setting in Acrobat that we need set in order to get this Code 128 font working?

That font allows embedding and it works for me with a PDF created with Acrobat with the font embedded. If you could post a sample PDF somewhere, someone might be able to tell you what's wrong.

Zoom in code view

So I love code view, allows me to really keep everything
clean. But the txt is a bit too small. I know I can zoom with my
os, but is there a way to do this only in dreamweaver code view?
Thought about changing the code font and size, but not sure if that
will effect page rendering
???

> Thought about changing the code font and size,
> but not sure if that will effect page rendering
dreamweaver preferences-->Fonts-->Code View

in a browser.
