New fonts for on-screen reading

EndNote EndNote Styles, Filters, and Connections

I use Endnote when reading through search hits from online databases and have made an output style that lists:

Title

Author

Journal - No - Issue - Pages

Abstract

However, the fonts available for displaying these fields are limited to 5 choices. None of these are ideal for on screen reading and recently new fonts optimised for on screen reading have been made available. So, I wonder if there is any way of using other fonts than these 5. For instance by entering codes in the style editor?

Thanks, Tage

The “Display Fonts” options in EndNote Preferences should allow you to choose any/all fonts installed on your Windows or Macintosh system for viewing within EndNote. Is this not what you are experiencing? If you just installed a new font, you may need to re-start your computer to allow EndNote to see these.

Thanks JasonR and Leanne. 

I may not have been precise enough when specifying my problem. I use the preview of the output in the “Tab Pane” (see attached jpg) for on screen reading of title, abstract etc. but I only have 5 fonts to choose from when defining the output style. If I could choose from all fonts here, I could find a better one for reading on screen.

Thanks, Tage

The display fonts for the EndNote “Preview” tab are controlled by the “General” font setting in EndNote Preferences. The options here should allow you to choose from all of the fonts installed on your system.

Thanks JasonR,

Now it works! The trick was that I had selected a font and a font size in the style editor and some of the text was formatted (bold, underline). Once i changed it all to plain font, plain size and removed the formatting it worked. 

All the best, Tage
