Is it possible to change the font for the printouts to the debug window?

Isn't it hardcoded? Why would you want that?

Because, compared to WL4, the printouts take up more space.
In other words, the inter-character spacing is a bit too much, so that if exactly the same amount of text is being printed in WL6 vs in WL4, it takes up much too much space in WL6.

To whom how - for instance, some didn't like the tiny characters in WL4 that were harder to read.

You can enter a support ticket to request one more chart font preference, but I guess it hardly will happen any time soon - the Fidelity developers have a bigger fish to fry.

Talking about fonts, I have a question about the DrawText function. I can get it to write text in the price pane and panes above the price pane, but I can't get it to write text an any pane below the price pane, including the volume pane. Is that a bug?

Looks like an ambiguity. I mean, you can use DrawText on the VolumePane and the panes below but the Y coordinate has to be specified in a manner different from what the QuickRef says:
QUOTE:
The coordinates are expressed as the number of pixels from the upper left corner of the pane.

I found that for DrawText to be effective, the Y coordinate should be expressed as the number of pixels from the said place of the PricePane, not the specified pane e.g. VolumePane.

Even if you did choose the right number by trial and error, the moment you change the size of the window, that number would, er, go out the window. ;)
Should be fixed.

That's right, because we're talking about absolute, pixel-based coordinates (originating from the top-left corner of the chart area).

You noticed the double entendre I used? Clever, eh? ;)
