I can't even do step 1a. The change does not stick.


Just for comparison: It worked on my machine. 10.3.9 (Spring 2002 dual 1G G4, 1.5G RAM), but without some of the latest OS & app. dls.

But, I had a .plist in place.

It was apparently created when I was messing around with the preferences dialog, trying to make it underline: I had selected `application keywords` and gone through and explicitly set them to the defaults (Verdana 12pt, etc.), in an attempt to get the underline control to work (which it never did), and had applied the "changes."

p.s.: It _does_ make things a lot clearer.

[1] How to do it:

0. Quit Script Editor.

1. Open ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.applescript.plist. It should have an AppleScriptTextStyles entry. If not, see 1a.
1a. Change one of the styles somehow (color, font...), quit Script Editor, relaunch it, put it back, quit again, and go back to step 1.


2. AppleScriptTextStyles is an array of entries in the same order they're listed in the preferences; "application keywords" is the fourth one. (Index 3, since they start at zero.)

3. Each entry is a string formatted as "fontname;style;size;RGB color". The default for application keywords is "Verdana;p;12;0 0 65535", in other words, 12 point plain Verdana in blue. "p" for the style means "plain"; change it to "u" for "underline". (You could also add "b" for bold or "i" for italic if you felt like it.)

4. Save and close the file.
