Customizing Fonts

The dialog box fonts in dtSearch Desktop are based on the standard Windows dialog box font, which can be changed using the Display Options applet in Control Panel.

The font used in the Search dialog box to display the search request and the scrolling word list can be changed to make these items more readable. To change these fonts, click Options > Preferences > Other Options and change the setting under Search dialog box fonts.

By default, the text display settings for Internet Explorer are used to display retrieved documents, and hits are highlighted in yellow. To change the font used to display a retrieved document, or to change the way hits are highlighted, click Options > Preferences > Document Display.
