Default colors are set by XgrSetDefaultColors(). The default font for XBasic, or any other XBasic application, is chosen when the application starts up. First XBasic creates an xxx/fonts.xxx file that contains a list of bitmap fonts that may be appropriate as the default font. Then XBasic reads in file xxx/font.xxx and sets the default font to the first font name not preceded by a ‘ comment character that is known to the system. If no xxx/font.xxx file exists, XBasic chooses the default font it thinks best. You can select a larger font for the development environment and console windows with Option Misc.
