An SPSS syntax file is just a plain text file with an .sps extension
(enabling you, for example, to edit a syntax file in another text
editor). Consequently any changes you may make to the way the text
appears (font, bold, etc.) are temporary. While you can specify a
default font for the syntax editor, this information is associated with
the SPSS application and applies to all syntax files, not any particular
syntax file.
