A PRIMER FOR PROGRAMMING PAD++ IN TCL/TK

Fonts

Pad++ supports Adobe Type1 fonts, however, this font support is still under development. You may notice that fonts are not rendered very well when they are small, but look good when they are large. While these fonts are rendered relatively quickly, they are expensive. The system will slow down when a lot of text is used with one of these fonts. Fonts for text items are specified with the -font itemconfigure option. The system font is specified with "System", and Type1 fonts are specified by the filename that contains the font. This will be changed in a future version to allow a system-independent way of specifying fonts.

Pad++ comes with a font named "System". This is a fixed-width vector-font modeled after courier. It is readable at smaller sizes and it is quite fast. But, it is not very pretty when magnified.
