MATLAB: What font does MATLAB use

MATLAB

I'm writing my own documentation, and I want to display the code in the same font that MATLAB does in the Editor and Command Window. What font is that?

Best Answer

There is no specific default font for MATLAB. MATLAB chooses a font to display based on your Java settings.

In order to figure out what font is being used on your machine, please read the following reference:

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/intl/fontconfig.html#loading

This will point you towards a specific Java configuration file. Within this file you should see a line starting with

monospaced.plain.alphabetic=

followed by the name of a font. This is the font that MATLAB will use.

MATLAB: What is the correct value for LD_LIBRARY_PATH on 64-bit Linux when using MATLAB Compiler 4.4 (R2006a)

There is an error in the documentation for MATLAB Compiler 4.4 (R2006a) with regards to the value of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable on 64-bit Linux platforms.

On a development machine, the documentation should read:

 setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH 
         $MATLABROOT/sys/os/glnxa64: 
         $MATLABROOT/bin/glnxa64: 
         $MATLABROOT/extern/lib/glnxa64: 
         $MATLABROOT/sys/java/jre/glnxa64/jre1.5.0/lib/amd64/native_threads: 
         $MATLABROOT/sys/java/jre/glnxa64/jre1.5.0/lib/amd64/server: 
         $MATLABROOT/sys/java/jre/glnxa64/jre1.5.0/lib/amd64 
     setenv XAPPLRESDIR $MATLABROOT/X11/app-defaults

For a deployment machine, the documentation should read:

 setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH 
$MCR_ROOT/$VER/runtime/glnxa64: 
$MCR_ROOT/$VER/sys/os/glnxa64: 
$MCR_ROOT/$VER/sys/java/jre/glnxa64/jre1.5.0/lib/amd64/native_threads: 
$MCR_ROOT/$VER/sys/java/jre/glnxa64/jre1.5.0/lib/amd64/server: 
$MCR_ROOT/$VER/sys/java/jre/glnxa64/jre1.5.0/lib/amd64:
 setenv XAPPLRESDIR $MCR_ROOT/$VER/X11/app-defaults

In the preceding example, $MATLABROOT and $MCR_ROOT represent the root directories of the MATLAB ($MATLABROOT) and MATLAB Compiler Runtime (MCR) installation ($MCR_ROOT) respectively. $VER refers to the version of MCR installed (for example, v73 or v74).
