Enable setting default font style

[motib]

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Open Edit/Preferences/Editor

Expected output: I would like to be able to set the default font style, in particular, bold because the regular font style is hard to read on a laptop.

Actual output: No field to select font style.

TeXworks version: 0.6.2 TeXworks obtained from: MikTeX Operating system: Windows 7 Enterprise

Until this issue is properly resolved (which is a bit trickier than it might seem), here is a workaround to achieve the same goal: Create a file, e.g. style.css with the following content:

QTextEdit {
        font-weight: bold;
}

For the sake of this comment, I'll assume you put it in the same folder as TeXworks.exe. Then run TeXworks.exe with the following command:

TeXworks.exe -stylesheet style.css

(replace style.css with the full path to your file if it is not in the same folder as TeXworks). To make this change (somewhat) permanent and easy to do regularly, you can put the line above in a file like TeXworks.bat and use that .bat file instead of the .exe file to run TeXworks.

Thanks, Stefan. This is less dangerous than hacking the register! I'll try it out. If anyone is interested: the you can change the "font" entry of the TW registry entry using the following codes for the weight: 50 = normal, 25 = light, 63 = semibold, 75 = bold, 87 = black. Moti
