Hi all,

Is there any way that we can change the default font of equation say from default (para) font to bold? 

Thanks

    Thanks @Bob_Niland 

    My system it reverts to Default ¶ Font when I create the new equation. 

    Do you know any setting that can keeps it unchanged?

    Thanks


    It's not reverting on my FM2020.
    All I did was revise the EquationVariables format for Bold & update the style.
    I don't even recall doing a [set] on that palette pulldown, but it's showing what I reported above.

    I think I should rephrase my question.

    Is there any way that I can set Bold as the default for "functions", "Numbers", "Strings" and "Variables" every time I create the new equation. 

    Thanks

    a. to confirm: this is using the legacy Insert▼Equations… palette, and not MathML?

    b. what happens when you navigate to
    Format▼Characters › Character Designer

    Style [EquationVariables]
    Weight [Bold]
    [Update Style]

     

    Personally, due to the limitations of legacy equations in some output flows, and until MathML is working properly in FM once more (bug report FRMAKER-11189), I'd be tempted to use an external MathML editor, and import those objects.

      Thank you so much @Bob_Niland .

      Yeah I used the legacy Equation not the MathML. 

      This works, it just means I will need to update every single template that I created.

      Since there are a couple of ways to get equations into your FM content, I'd start with the version of FM you've got & the method you're using; otherwise, @Winfried Reng has the solution.

      HI @Jeff_Coatsworth , 

      I got FM 2019, I want to change the default font to Bold so that I do not need to change everything I create the equation in the new doc. 

      I have knowledge in Coding as well so If there is any file or any code that need to change to archive it, please let me know.

      Hi,

      In the equation editor (Insert | Equations - not MathML) there is a drop-down list on the left. Click Equations to open this list and click Equation Fonts. There you can change the fonts.

      Is this what you need?

      Best regards

      Winfried

        Hi @Winfried Reng ,

        I want to change the default font to Bold so that I do not need to change everytime when I create the new equation. I know that It will change all equations in the same doc but as I always use bold, I want to keep it stay that way.
