Windows "clear case" to smooth fonts doesn't seem to work :-/ – Junior Mayhé May 11 '11 at 13:08

When you change the font like this you _might_ get a message that the active window will not be updated. Resolution: open it again. (Why I mention this is that if you just press Ok on the message you will not receive it again and a day later you will have forgotten it. And google. And find this comment.) – LosManos May 24 '16 at 07:33

Every time I set up WinMerge I need to search for this setting. I wonder why the font settings are not part of the WinMerge options found under "Edit" -> "Options". – Andreas Sep 28 '16 at 11:45

That works. But if you restart, the setting is gone. – dertkw May 11 '11 at 12:44
Yes, indeed the setting is lost, maybe we can tweek it on Windows registry? – Junior Mayhé May 11 '11 at 12:56
