Bug ID: 450887
Summary: Change font for plain text files
Product: okular
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: okular-devel@kde.org
Reporter: van.sny...@sbcglobal.net
Target Milestone: ---
Not reporting a crash, just requesting a feature.
When displaying plain-text files in Okular, it would be useful to be able to
change the font, for several reasons.
One is that plain-text files are frequently formatted to be viewed using
fixed-pitch fonts, to preserve positional relationships.
Another is that one might generally work with one language/alphabet, such as
Latin, but occasionally need to look at a file as another, such as Cyrillic.
A third, similar to the second, is that some files contain DECtech or IBM 437
box-drawing characters.
A reasonable place to do this is on the File -> Properties menu which, for
plain-text files presently (20.12.3) only gives information, but no opportunity
to change the font.
Of course, one would like to be able to print the file using the selected font,
not the system default font.
I like the font-selection dialogue in the nedit editor, but nedit can't print
the file using the alternative font.
