== Additional configuration == === Using Latin Modern fixed-width font in SciTE === The default font in SciTE is a variable-width sansserif (Arial or similar). If you prefer to use a fixed-width font while coding, the minimal distribution comes with a neat Latin Modern font for this purpose. You can find the font at ''\yourcontextmainfolder''\texmf-context\fonts\truetype\hoekwater\lm\lmtypewriter10-regular.ttf The only thing you need to do is to install the font as you'd install any TrueType font in your Windows. If you SciTE is otherwise correctly setup (i.e. step 3 is done), it'll automatically start using the new font. NB. It seems that this font doesn't have any Cyrillic, so add the font only if using just Roman letters. === Forcing SciTE For tips on how to use UTF-8 as default encoding === If you plan configure SciTe to use SciTE only for ConTeXt or if all your files are in UTF-8 anyway, you can make UTF-8 as suit your default encoding. Especially if you start "from scratch", this is recommended! To change the encoding settingConTeXting needs, open SciTE and go to ''Options'' and there to ''Open Global Properties''. Find ''Internationalisation'' in see the settings file:<pre>[[Scite# Internationalisation# Japanese input code Configuring_SciTe_with_ConTeXt_on_Windows| Scite page 932 and ShiftJIS character set 128#code.page=932#character]].set=128# Unicode#code.page=65001code.page=0#character.set=204</pre> Now '''uncomment <tt>#code.page=65001</tt>''' (i.e. remove the hash sign) and '''comment <tt>code.page=0</tt>''' (i.e. add a hash in front of the line. Now your internationalisation settings should look like this:<pre># Internationalisation# Japanese input code page 932 and ShiftJIS character set 128#code.page=932#character.set=128# Unicodecode.page=65001#code.page=0#character.set=204</pre>Now save the settings file, close it, then close SciTE. When you restart SciTE, UTF-8 should be the default encoding.
