Background
I use the font, Inconsolata, in the Command Window and the Editor. It's very readable (imo), however there is a problem. The character width of the bold font is somewhat larger than that of the plain font. Now, I'm making a tool that outputs text to the command window. I mix bold and plain and requires "columns" to line up. That's not possible with Inconsolata. Thus, I want to temporarily switch to Monospaced.
Approach
s = settings;
s.matlab.fonts.codefont.Name.TemporaryValue = 'Times New Roman'
In the Preferens/Fonts GUI I reset the value. And inspected the codefont values.
>> s.matlab.fonts.codefont.Name
ans =
Setting 'matlab.fonts.codefont.Name' with properties:
ActiveValue: 'Inconsolata'
TemporaryValue: <no value>
PersonalValue: 'Inconsolata'
FactoryValue: 'Monospaced'
Questions
- What is the purpose of TemporaryValue ? The name itself indicates that its value will only be used for a limited time. Setting TemporaryValue obviously sets ActiveValue to the same value. ActiveValue is read-only.
- Should I use something like this
s = settings;
old_value = s.matlab.fonts.codefont.Name.ActiveValue;
s.matlab.fonts.codefont.Name.TemporaryValue = 'Monospaced';
% my print
s.matlab.fonts.codefont.Name.TemporaryValue = old_value;
EDIT: This approach won't work, since resetting the font will change all text in the Command Window.

@Per - the reason this is not [yet] implemented in cprintf is because, as you've seen, the updated font applies to the entire Command Window text, not simply to the text from that point onward. I have not discovered a way to modify the font of just part of the Command Window.

If you're querying for what value the setting has right now get the ActiveValue.
ActiveValue depends on the other three and will be the first of TemporaryValue, PersonalValue, and FactoryValue (in that order) that is set.
TemporaryValue gets cleared when MATLAB exits, PersonalValue and FactoryValue do not.
