Changing Fonts in IDLE-0.5

[Martin Franklin]

With idle 0.5 you should take a look around line 141 in 
EditorWindow.py


change this.....

if sys.platform[:3] == 'win':
    text['font'] = ("lucida console", 8)


to just this.....


text['font'] = ("Courier ", 24)


24 may be a little too big but you get the idea.

You should consider upgrading to python 2.0 and idle 0.6

Martin.
