How to set a particular font in a Edit Text Area

Hi everybody!

I bypassed my problem with passwords creating a new font, made by '•': now I have to set it in an area where to insert password... I tried insert it using set

set(handles.TAG, 'FontName', 'MyFont');

without results. I also tried setting it in the Ispector, but it doesn't work and I always see the standard font...

Someone told me there's a specific directory in Matlab in which I have to put my font... It's true?? And what's the name of the directory?

Thank you all for answering!

Warning: if you do this then someone can highlight the password in the edit box, copy it and paste it to a different text area, where it will show up clearly.

Yes, I know it, but it has to work for a University Project... ;)

PF=uisetfont(handles.ET_PWD_IT, 'Bacchus');

This set runs but at the moment to set my font, it appears a window with a font list, but mine is not in this list! I installed it like every downloaded font, and in the Font Directory I can see it... What's the problem according to you??

I solved my problem copying my font in every "font" directory in Matlab! ;)

Perhaps uisetfont?

doc uisetfont

Though if the user has enough calming vodka, do you even need '*'s?

'•'s are more fashion xD
