[texworks] Font change in Preferences

[Moti Ben-Ari]

For a long time I didn't want to change the registry as Mark suggested
because didn't know what the codes meant. Recently, I found documentation
on this. By changing the 50 to 75 I get default bold!

\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TUG\TeXworks

font family (in this example, "Courier New")
point size (default = 10)
pixel size (-1 = default)
style hint (what to do if requested family can't be found; 5 = AnyStyle =
default)
weight (50 = normal, 25 = light, 63 = semibold, 75 = bold, 87 = black)
italic (0 = no)
underline (0 = no)
strikeout (0 = no)
fixedPitch (1 = yes)
raw (0 = no)
