Change Constant Block's Value's Font

I am trying to change a constant block's values' font. Specifically, the value as shown inside the block.

Hi Richard,

You can’t change the font of the value in Constant block, instead you can try the following:

Make a mask for a given constant block using the CTRL-M keyboard shortcut or by giving a right click on the block and then select Mask -> Create Mask.

1. Go to "Icon & Ports tab"
2. Go the section "Icon Drawing Commands”.
3. Enter the required text as input to "disp" function (example:disp(5))
4. Give a right click on context menu option
5. Go to format, select Font style

You should now be able to change the block format like you can with other blocks.

Is it possible that this is controlled by something inside matlab itself? I have a screenshot from 2016b where the font has been changed. I know this was mutable, without a mask, as I had to write a small script that changed the shape of the block based on the internal character count. To make that work correctly, I needed to have a monospaced font inside the block.

Hi Richard

The feature you were asking about is not supported in the current version .Instead you can follow the steps mentioned to mask the block for changing the font , but you will not be able to change the font of the value in the block directly as you were able to do in R2016b.

Do you know if that feature will come back?
