Mosi, I am not a unix user, but -h set- and h-font- should help you; some things are set in your profile.do file but others are set through the preferences; look at the "managing your preferences" section under -h unixfonts- Rich -----Original Message----- >From: Mosi Ifatunji <ifatunji@gmail.com> >Sent: Feb 23, 2013 1:19 PM >To: statalist@hsphsun2.harvard.edu >Subject: Re: st: Setting general preferences using syntax > >Rich, > >This was a good lead.

This means that every time I open Stata, the general preferences are in the default.
