[Scilab-users] Changing the fontname for the content of a table uicontrol

Tue Aug 11 17:51:20 CEST 2020

OK: this issue has already been reported @ http://bugzilla.scilab.org/15612
It was already the same with Scilab 5.
Apparently, font* properties have not been implemented for tables.
This would deserve at least to be documented..
