Hi Richard,
I downloaded BBCSDL20 to try on my Windows 7 machine and ran into a problem with SDLIDE.
When I tried to change the edit font, the font selection box did not show facenames, it showed a listing of bits of directory names from my root directory.
The problem occurs because I installed to "c:\Program Files (x86)\BBCSDL".
I think any directory with spaces in the name would also cause the problem.
I verified it works Ok when installed to a directory without spaces in the name.
Investigating.. in PROCsetfont, I believe the line...
N% = FNdirscan(face$(), "dir " + @lib$ + "*.ttf", "*.ttf", "", "")
..needs some more double quotes sprinkled around the @lib$ to deal with the embedded spaces.
I haven't (yet) tried this.

Could well be. As you will appreciate, BBCSDL is primarily intended to be run in Linux and Mac OS, in which directory names containing spaces are uncommon. You could try changing the line you mention as follows:
Code: N% = FNdirscan(face$(), "dir """ + @lib$ + "*.ttf""", "*.ttf", "", "")
Richard.

Yes, that fixes it.
