Editor issues in Quartus2 9.1 Web Edition using Linux

Hi there,

I installed Quartus on my Ubuntu 10.4 System. I'm having trouble with the built in editor. I can't change the default font. And the default one is isn't a monospace font, which makes the code editor nearly useless. I tried to change the settings in the options dialog, but they have no effect.

Any ideas?

I'm also having trouble with some keyboard shortcuts, at least sometimes...

med vänlig hälsning

    in Tools > Options > Text Editor you can't change the font? works on QII 9.1sp1 Web Edition Linux on Fedora 12

    Yes. Actually i can change the font but it has no effect. The default one is "Nimbus Mono L", which is a monospace font. But the font in the editor is definetly not monospace. Changing the other fonts(general, messages) works fine. I put a small screenshot in the attachment. Does someone recognize this font? Anyone else with this problem? Or better: Any solutions?

    that's strange, must be something Ubuntu specific. QII 9.1 Web Edition on Linux is a beta, so maybe the next release will fix it

    Moin,

    yes the new release fixed it. The fonts and the shortcuts are working.

    Btw: Is there any way to close the compilation report with a shortcut? ctrl-w works with normal files, but not with the compilation report. Also many editors support ctrl+pgup or pgdown for novigating through the open tabs. Is there a way to activate this in Quartus?

    Bye,

    control-w does seem to close compilation reports for me in 10.0 Linux. not sure about toggling between windows, maybe file an enhancement request in an SR?
