The former "Default Font" choice in the SCT Configuration dialog's "Font" tab has been renamed to "Workspace Font", and the effect of that choice has been simplified.
When "Workspace Font" is selected, the SCT uses the font of the RiverWare Workspace (which is used also by most other parts of the RiverWare user interface). With this selection, any changes to the Workspace's font are immediately reflected in the SCT.

The "Reset" buttons associated with "Font A" and "Font B" assign the current Workspace Font's font specification to the respective custom font specification.
