Changing default font in Textmaker 2018

[gabrielvirgilio]

How can I change the default font for all documents in Textmaker 2018?
in this thread viewtopic.php?t=8980 say

You have to open the normal.tmv (File => open => file type "template" => normal.tmv).

but in 2018 version there is not any normal.tmv... or I don't find it in any way

In TextMaker 2018, there is Normal.tmvx.

But it is much easier to open Format > Character and click on "Set as default".

[gabrielvirgilio]

ok thank you, but where is the position of Normal.tmvx?
I don't find it, with any search program.

My Documents\SoftMaker\Templates 2018

I dont't have "my documents", only documents in %userprofile%\documents, here I have a Softmaker folder with only two folders:

Then you should repair your installation. You are in the correct folder, but below that there should be a Templates 2018 folder.

I'm having the same problem. I want to change from Times New Roman to another font but:

1 - Trying to make the change directly in the Normal template file doesn't work.

2 - Trying to make the change in a new document, going through the respective menu and dialog boxes to apply the change to all documents based on the Normal template doesn't work and brings me the following message:



It's Brazilian Portuguese for (freely translated):

Error
The file C:Users\xxxxx\Documents\SoftMaker\Templates 2018\Português\Normal.tmvx cannot be opened

It happens when TextMaker is set to Brazilian Portuguese (my mother tongue and system language). But if I set the TextMaker default language to English (US), I can make that change. So the problem has to do with the Brazilian Portuguese setup.

How to fix it? TIA.

I think I found why it's not working here. The path where the program tries to find the template file is not completely identified.



For the Brazilian Portuguese version, I think the path should be:

C:Users\xxxxx\Documents\SoftMaker\Templates 2018\Português (Brasil)\Normal.tmvx

I thought of trying a workaround by renaming the Português (Brasil) folder to Português only. But I'm not sure if it could mess with the program as whole somehow.

What do you think?

[martin-k]

Yes, there is a discrepancy what the setup program creates and what SoftMaker Office expects: Português vs. Português (Brasil).

We have already internally corrected the error. In the meantime, you can simply rename the folder.
