If you want a global change you have to make it in Edit/Preferences/Editor and there is no selection for Regular/Bold/.... Long ago I raised an issue requesting this but it has not been accepted. I found the workaround of changing the registry. It is not ideal because any change in the preferences rewrites the registry entry, but that's OK for me.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Moti</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Feb 24, 2023 at 11:57 AM Philip Taylor (Hellenic Institute) <<a href="mailto:P.Taylor@hellenic-institute.uk">P.Taylor@hellenic-institute.uk</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<p>In the most recent version of TeXworks, Moti, (and, I believe in
earlier versions), the bold version of a font (if available) can
be selected through the GUI —</p>
<ul>
<li>Format / Font... / [Font] MS Shell Dlg 2 / [Font style]
{Regular | Bold} / [Size] {6..72} / [Effects] {Strikethrough |
Underline} / [Writing System].</li>
