How to change the default Font?

Q: Can i change the Default-Font the Delphi uses for Forms etc..?

A:yes it works but it’s a bit ‘tricky’

in D3 there is a registry-key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Borland\Delphi\3.0\FormDesign

Add a new string-value here named ‘DefaultFont’ and add the Value
‘Arial, 10’ for example (without the quotes!)

If you have blanks in the font-name, then put extra double quotes
around it

“MS Sans Serif”, 8

for example

i don’t know about Delphi4.

in Delphi5 there is a key named ‘Form Design’ (with an additional
blank in between). If you put the ‘DefaultFont’ here nothing will
happen!
Just add a new Key under the Delphi\5.0\ key in the registry and add
the ‘DefaultFont’-Stringvalue as described above and it will work with
D5 too!
