Code view fonts screwy...

Using CS3 (9.0 build 3481) on Windows XP Pro.
I goto EDIT > PREFERENCES > FONTS
I changed all fonts to "LUCIDA SANS TYPEWRITER" and "10 PT (SMALL)"
I press OK, but only some of my pages use the font. I've closed and restarted DW, but still, like my application.cfc page will use the font, but an authentication.cfc file uses some other font.

I think I remember this happening to me too.
Say for example you have Western European char set on some pages and Unicode char set on other pages, you'll need to set your font choices for both languages.
Hope this helps.

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.

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:

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

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...

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.

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 :-)

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.

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.

Change font color in Report Code causes font size to change.

I am trying to dynamically change the font color in a report, red for negative, green for positive and blue for 0. I have created a report region and here is my code:
select city_name,
py_re_taxable,cy_re_taxable,
decode(sign(re_chg),-1,''||re_chg||'',
0,''||re_chg||'',
1,''||re_chg||'','') RE_CHG
from rc_dashboard_recap a, lk_city_code b
where b.tax_year = :CURRENT_TAX_YEAR
and a.city_code = b.city_code
and userid = :GLOBAL_USER
order by 1
This code works great except it overrides my css text size and shows up as a page default size. I can't seem to figure out why this happens. This also happens when I try to sum a column. I've set my font size to 11 in my css and it is calling it correctly, however with the above code, my font size shows up at 12 or so.
I am looking at the code (view source from my page and it shows the correct class
<td class="t3dataalta" align="right" >-13.98
in my css:
td.t3dataalta{font-size:11px;padding:2px;padding-left:5px;padding-right:5px;}
If I remove the decode statements with the font color then my font size is correct, but I need to figure out how to make the colors work.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank You

select city_name,
py_re_taxable,cy_re_taxable,
decode(sign(re_chg),-1,'font color="red"'||re_chg||'/font',
0,'font color="blue"'||re_chg||'/font',
1,'font color="green"'||re_chg||'/font','') RE_CHG
from rc_dashboard_recap a, lk_city_code b
where b.tax_year = :CURRENT_TAX_YEAR
and a.city_code = b.city_code
and userid = :GLOBAL_USER
order by 1
Here is my query, I removed the < and > signs in the code so that you could see what I have done.

CS5: Pasting smart quotes into code view problem

Hi all,
In my blogging workflow, I copy the blog text from from MacJournal into the code view in Dreamweaver CS5. In CS3, it seems that DW allowed the left & right smart and unicode quotes to be pasted in untouched. However, DW CS5 seems to be converting all single ‘ & ’ to the ASCII ' and all “ & ” to ASCII ". Is there a way to turn this off?
I don't want to paste the text into the design view because I don't want DW to auto format the text. I got some specific formatting that I like to do.
Thanks!
Steven

Yes, the appropriate meta tag is in place. In Preferences, UTF-8 is selected under Fonts. Try pasting:
“Test”
into the code view and see what happens. Hmm, Just tried pasting the above into the Design View and the same thing happened. The curly quotes where changed into straight quotes. BTW, I'm runn ing DW under Mac OS X Lion.
I pasted the same text in another app, TextEdit, and the curly quotes pasted just fine.
I need the curly quotes because I change them into ‘, ’, “, and ” (‘ ’ “ ”) for compatibility with older browsers (pre-IE6). Yes, my site has been visited by such older browsers.
Thanks!
Steven

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
pick a font and a size. it has nothing to do with what shows
in a browser.
make it 300pt zebra bold.

Editing tags in code view

im relatively new to dw 8 and have a problem. in split vied
or code view I cant edit change or remove tags. ie if i want to
remove a tag. i can highlight it in the code view
window but if i try to cut nothing happens. Im sure i just have a
setting wrong but what?

Is the code in question black or gray?? If ou are using a DW
teomplate,
some of our code areas will be "locked" (gray) and uneditible
unless you
edit the template itself. Make sense?
