Thanks, applied.

By the official release I hope to be using a standard release of
arwen, and encourage it to be put in EUINC, but at the moment it is
changing too rapidly. All the code files, apart from edita.exw, begin
with "ea".

Open the colours dialog. Some entries (eg Background) never allow Bold
or Italic, so select "Other". Now open the font dialog (so both are on
screen) and change the font face. The stock fonts (eg ANSI_FIXED_FONT)
don't support bold or italic, so they are disabled in the colours
window. Some fonts either don't support Bold or display it in a
different width (eg Lucida Console) so Bold may remain disabled.
Courier New should be ok, so Bold and Italic should be enabled.
I might one day merge these two windows.
>> 2. Date format displays as "day/month/year"
I've changed the Date and time display in the status bar to use the
locale settings (as set in control panel, regional settings).
(The funny thing is, it took me about five minutes to "find" the date
you were talking about. I was searching through the menus, going nope,
no date there. Of course it was on-screen all the time...)

Yes, that one.

Oops. This will happen if the cancel resets to a stock font. Fixed.
in eafonts.ew, closeHandler:
if FaceIdx>=5 then -- added
isPointSize = sizes[FaceIdx][PointIdx]
end if -- added

Yes. I've got to get the line lengths stuff finished, and the modified
indicator, and the clipboard and undo/redo status nailed down first,
so I can enable/disable these menu entries as I add them, otherwise
I'll have to go back and revisit them all.
I'm open to suggestions as to what entries the context (and edit) menu
should have, rather than just blindly copying MEditor. Maybe I should
have an option whether to display keyboard shortcuts on the context
menu?
