    A dialog to alter XBoard's font settings interactively

    +

    +In the GTK build fonts have names that can be handled by mortals, like "Sans Bold 10" +for a 10-point bold sans-serif font. +It has thus become sensible to set them through a dialog. +(In WinBoard this has of course been long since possible.) +XBoard's new Fonts dialog allows you to type the name of a pango font in a text edit, +or operate four buttons: +to increase or decrease the point size, +or to toggle the 'bold' or 'italic' font attributes. +Operating the buttons changes the font name in the preceding text edit accordingly, +and actually displays that name in the font it represents, +so the user has a preview of what he is doing. +

    +Each window type has its own font control, +so that the user can use a monospace font in windows where columnar output is expected +(such as the ICS Chat/Console, +use a figurine font where mostly moves are displayed (Engine Output or Move History), etc. +

    Making a sound during analysis

    The move sound can now also be played when a new PV arrives in Analyze mode
