fonts - mIRC Discussion Forums

I have this in the section of [fonts] in mirc.ini

fstatus=Tahoma,411,1

Now the font is correct I have it set for tahoma size 8 and normal font size.

Can anyone tell me what is 411 and the 1 and how I can get my real values from mirc.ini please!

I don't know how those numbers are determined but you can use $window().font $window().fontsize and $window().fontbold to get that information.

Code:

//echo -a $window(status window).font $window(status window).fontsize $iif($window(status window).fontbold,Bold)

But can anyone tell me how to understand those numbers??
Please!!

Tahoma,411,1

As you can see, there are 3 comma-separated tokens in that string.

The 1st token is the font name (who would have guessed?)

The 2nd token contains the font size (2nd digit and onwards) and whether the font is bold (1st digit) information: the 4 in 411 means the font is not bold. If it was bold, this would be 711. 11 is the font size, as returned by $window().fontsize. The first digit can only be 4 or 7 in mirc.

The 3rd token is more mysterious. It represents the "Script" setting in the Font dialog, ie the selected character set. The available character sets and their equivalent numbers can be found here. The number in the 2nd column in that table (Code (dec)) is exactly this 3rd token.

fstatus=<font name>,<font size||bold>,<character set>

The first value is the name of the font. The second value describes its size and whether or not it's bold or not. If the first digit is a 4, then it's a normal font. If it's a 7, then it's a bolded font. The second two digits describe the size of the font. The last value describes the character set you have selected for the current font.
