Font button inoperative

In FlexSim 2016.2.0 on Windows 7 Pro, in File > Global Preferences > Fonts and Colors tab, the three font “…” buttons for Code Editor, Template Editor, and Unformatted Text, are in operative.They are also inoperative in FlexSim 2016.1.0. They work fine in 7.7.2. As such I cannot change font nor font size (for example, from 9 point to 12 point Courier New).

The workaround is to search the Tree view from Main, for Courier New. What comes up is , where you can change the font and the font size. In my case, I just wanted to change from 9 point to 12 point font in the "size" node, and it worked.

It looks like 16.0.5 is the latest version of the software where this is still working.

Thanks for pointing this out to us. We've added it to our development list and will get it fixed soon.

Thanks so much Matt.

The workaround is pretty easy, since you only have to do it once for each new version release you install. That is, to search the Tree view from Main, for Courier New. It comes up in many places, but the one that works is in the node VIEW:/environment/fonts/codeeditor/name, where you can change the font's name and/or size manually, essentially bypassing those "..." buttons in the Global Preferences GUI. Works well.
