<p><font face="Arial">Dear all,</font></p>
<p>I am struggling with changing the .fontname property for the
content of a table uicontrol.<br>
The default font is "Tahoma", that is not monospaced. I would like
to set a monospaced font,<br>
like "Monospaced", "Consolas", etc that are available on my
system,<br>
as reported by xlfont("AVAILABLE_FONTS").</p>
<p><tt>xlfont("Consolas") // works well:</tt></p>
<p><tt>--> xlfont</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> ans =</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> column 1 to 7</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> <b>"Monospaced"</b> "ScilabSymbols" "Serif" "Serif
Italic" "Serif Bold" "Serif Bold Italic" "SansSerif"</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> column 8 to 11</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> "SansSerif Italic" "SansSerif Bold" "SansSerif Bold
Italic" "SansSerif Bold Italic"</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>--> xlfont("Consolas");</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>--> xlfont</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> ans =</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> column 1 to 7</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> </tt><tt><b>"Monospaced" </b></tt><tt>
"ScilabSymbols" "Serif" "Serif Italic" "Serif Bold" "Serif
Bold Italic" "SansSerif"</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> column 8 to 12</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> "SansSerif Italic" "SansSerif Bold" "SansSerif Bold
Italic" "SansSerif Bold Italic" <b>"Consolas"</b></tt><br>
</p>
<p>But the, when i set it to the uicontrol, the rendering does not
change:<br>

Yet, the property has well been assigned:
--> ut.fontname</tt><tt>
</tt><tt> ans =</tt><tt>
</tt><tt> "Consolas"</tt>
Does anyone experiment the same, or succeed by doing it in another way?
Using "<html><p style=""font-family:Consolas">...</p>" in each cell works,
but is so unhandy while a property is theoretically available to do the job...
Thanks
Samuel
