VIVA trace legend font ?

Is there any way to change the VIVA trace legend  font ? I tried the following but it's not working. I saw another post 7 years back here that says it's not possible to change the legend font. Is it still the case ?

envSetVal("viva.traceLegend" "font" 'string "Clean,20,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0")

    Yes, this works fine - provided you're not using a really old version - according to How to change font size for the trace legend using .cdsenv variables in ViVA XL? this works from IC616 ISR3 onwards. See the picture here:

    You can even see the choice on the properties form.

    Note that the envSetVal only makes a difference for new ViVA windows - not existing windows.

    It worked for me - that's how I set it in the picture above. As I mentioned, it only affects new windows (I didn't do a thorough test if that, but that's what I'd expect).

    Which IC subversion are you using? (I'll check tomorrow based on answer you send, because it's getting late here).

    I just tried in one sub-version later, and it works fine. This is a pre-release version and not something in full production yet, and so you should speak to your account team about this - maybe something was broken temporarily?

    For me, it works for any new window or new sub-window.

    Andrew.
