# Fonts preferences

You can configure the fonts to be used for the P4V UI and for file contents displayed in P4V.

To configure fonts:

1. Go to Edit > Preferences.

2. In the Preferences dialog box, on the Fonts tab, do the following:

   - To configure the font to be used in the P4V UI, under Application font, select the font family, font style, and font size from the respective drop-down lists.

   - To configure the font to be used when displaying file contents, under File content font, select the font family, font style, and font size from the respective drop-down lists.

     If you prefer a monospace font type, select Show fixed sized fonts only to hide font types not matching this criterion.

   The Sample area displays a preview of your selections.

3. Click OK to save your changes and to close the dialog box.

   If you made changes to the file content font, you should see the new font take effect when you re-open the History tab. The Preview tab in the Details pane (located at the bottom of the History tab) now displays the content of files in text format in the newly configured font.

   For changes to the application font to take effect, continue with step 4.

4. Restart P4V for your changes to take effect.
