/font Command - mIRC
< mirc‎ | commands

The /font command allows you to change the font for the current window. If no parameters are specified, the font dialog pops up, otherwise the specified parameters are used.

Synopsis[edit]

/font [-asbegilunkdmz|window] <fontsize> <fontname>

Switches[edit]

  • -a - applies the setting to the active window
  • -s - applies the setting to the status window
  • -b - makes the font bold
  • -i - makes the font italic
  • -l - applies the setting to the channel list window
  • -u - applies the setting to the url list window
  • -n - applies the setting to the notify list window
  • -k - applies the setting to the links window (/links)
  • -g - applies the setting to the finger window (old feature that has been removed)
  • -m - applies the setting to the message window (/dqwindow)
  • -d - makes the font the default for that type of window
  • -e - clears the font entry for that window
  • -z - clears all font settings and sets all windows to the specified font. If no font is specified, all windows are set to default font settings

Parameters[edit]

  • [window] - if none of the -azs switch is used, you must provide the name of a window instead
  • <fontsize> - the size of the font, can be negative: it will then match the size of fonts in the font dialog
  • <fontname> - the name of the font

Example[edit]

/font -z -8 Verdana
/font -d "Status Window" -8 Fixedsys
/font -s 12 Verdana


An officially undocumented way to change the font for Switchbar:

/font switchbar -9 "Comic Sans MS"
/font switchbar -8 Tahoma

  • After entering the command must restart mIRC.
