This becomes more clear (excuse the pun) when you watch the video at the end.
This setting can automatically adjust the contrast between the font and the Editor background to make it easier to see fonts that would otherwise be lost. This setting, spelt with the American “colors” which makes me think it’s a typo every time I look at it, is a little known feature, but very handy: It also means that the font will be consistent in size without losing the rest of the wysiwyg capability. Changing the target to be larger to suit your eyes can level this up. The ability to control the source and target separately is very neat because the font that is used for some languages by default (mostly Asian) can vary in size, so when working with the defaults you can have a large source and and difficult to read target, or maybe the other way around. This only affects the view in the Editor, it does not affect the target translation at all. This setting, when enabled, gives you the ability to control the maximum or minimum font size for the source and/or target text. In here you have two main groups that relate to how fonts and text colours can be handled to make them easier to work with. This location is the main view for changing related settings in the Editor. File -> Options – Editor -> Font Adaptation This is the text I’m working with, “ theview“, which is obviously a deliberately prepared file containing some things that can make it very difficult to read and work with when working in the default view and you can download it to have a play if you like.īut first lets see where all the options are. To make this easier to see (hopefully!) I addressed where the options are in this article and then I recorded a short video so you can see in one go how these work in practice.
Since the release of Studio 2009 the things I’ll cover here have always been available through the options, but now that we have the ribbon in Studion 2014 it’s even easier. All these things can be changed in Studio to make it easier if you’re dealing with documents that don’t display well and you want to work in wysiwyg mode. By this I mean the colour of the text, the font types or the background you’re working on. So you don’t see them for ages and then you get the same question in a number of places for a day or two and then it goes quiet again! One of the topics that falls into this category is changing the view in the Editor. It’s funny how questions seem to appear like London buses… you don’t get any and then they all come at once! More often than not it’s very specific questions that behave this way too.
