I don't think copy/paste works in any IDE Dialog.

@RobinGravel

Meanwhile if you want to use another font you could type it in manually.

I found that the files as listed by Windows in that section you were copying from are not always correct eg Arial Bold has true name Arialbd.ttf or was it Arialbld.ttf. You can find the correct .ttf file name under properties for the file you want to select.

I put new fonts to another directory.

That's why I need to copy/paste the directory to IDE.

And you say you are or were able to paste a string into the IDE Dialog for Options > Display > Filename

Most curious to me because I can't paste a word into the IDE Search Dialog. I can highlight a word and get that in the dialog but that's it.

Can anyone paste anything into any of QB64 IDE Dialogs?

Doesn't work for me, not even with a directory copy highlighted in IDE main section.

The search works only if string is highlighted in IDE main section.

We'd established that. We're investigating.
