MATLAB: Does the default font in MATLAB 7.0 (R14) editor look different from that in MATLAB 6.5 (R13) on a Macintosh

defaultfontMATLABmonacomonospaced

I am working on the Macintosh Platform. The default font in MATLAB 7.0 (R14) editor looks different from that in MATLAB 6.5 (R13). I would like to know if there has been a change in the default font settings between these two versions of MATLAB.

Best Answer

The default font in the MATLAB 7.0 (R14) editor is different from that used in MATLAB 6.5 (R13) on a Macintosh. In MATLAB 7.0 (R14), a different type of monospaced font is being use as the default. To retain the look of MATLAB 6.5 (R13), change the font to "monaco" under "File -> Preferences -> Font".

MATLAB: Do the desktop fonts look difficult to read when Windows ClearType antialiasing is enabled

This enhancement has been incorporated in Release 2009b (R2009b). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:

This is due to a problem in Java's sub-pixel, antialiasing, font-rendering algorithm. The workaround is to create a java.opts file and place the following line in the file:

 -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=false

Save the java.opts file to matlabroot\bin\win32, where matlabroot is the root directory in which MATLAB is installed. You can determine this location by executing the command

matlabroot
 in the Command Window.

Restart MATLAB. MATLAB should no longer employ antialiasing and the fonts should be clear.

MATLAB: Is MATLAB Notebook supported on Macintosh

The MATLAB Notebook is not supported on Macintosh. The MATLAB Notebook uses DDE and ActiveX technology that is only available on the PC. Our development staff will look into adding this functionality in a future release of MATLAB.

There are currently no known workarounds.
