I have been working on the Prop BOE tutorial and the code pane is barely readable. The text is run together. What do I need to do to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

    That sure looks strange. I've never seen something like that with the Prop Tool myself.

    I suppose you've tried the usual and done a shutdown and restart? It kind of looks like the font isn't being handled correctly.

    You could try Propeller IDE or BST.

    The Parallax True Type Fonts may not have been installed.

    Go to :
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Parallax Inc\Propeller Tool v1.3.2\Help\Content\Resources\Stylesheets

    or

    C:\Program Files\Parallax Inc\Propeller Tool v1.3.2\Help\Content\Resources\Stylesheets on a 32-Bit machine

    and double click the Parallax font, and select install.

    What OS are you running?

    Does changing the font size (Ctrl-UP, Ctrl-DOWN) change the appearance?

    I recently installed it. I switched to my admin user, installed it, logged out and back into my limited user. The text looked like that. What eventually worked for me was restarting, logging into admin, and running the program there. I may have restarted before trying to run it in the limited account.

    Thanks Publison. That worked. Now I can read it clearly.

    I see Publison recommended several things. Which one worked?

    It's good to hear you got the problem fixed.

    Ditto to Duane's post. Which one worked so others with the same problem will know.

    This is what worked.
    Going to C:\Program Files (x86)\Parallax Inc\Propeller Tool v1.3.2\Help\Content\Resources\Stylesheets. And do the install.
    My OS is Vista SP2. 32 bit machine.
    Thanks again.
