Code view is less usable for me than it used to be.

I have a couple of monospace fonts installed that I prefer to the Windows default installed fonts. To wit, PT Mono from ParaType--- it has excellent differentiation between digit 1, upper-case I, & lower-case l; slashed zeros that do not look like upper-case O, etc, etc.

The fonts that are not part of the default Windows installation do not appear in the drop-down list of font choices. This happens on my Asus Win8 (64bit) laptop. I don't know if this is a Sigil thing, or a Win8 thing.

I used PT Mono when I was using version 6.x (v 5.x for sure) on my old XP machine, but apparently something has changed.

Does anybody know any tricks to use my preferred font?
