Notepad ++ does not respond to formatting

Hello, notepad doesn’t respond my formatting,

no matter what I set (s. screenshot), nothing changes at the characters.

The Global override style under Stilbeschreibung is the fall-back style that comes into play if all other rules for assigning a style to a certain piece of text don’t apply on that text or if a rule lacks some of the data that make up a style (for example the font size).

You should try changing the Default Style style.

Quibble: the Global override style is the style that gets applied to every type of highlighted text, as long as the override switch for that attribute (font, size, bold, italic, underline, foreground, background) is enabled. Since the OP has none of the override enables set, then the Global Override style attributes won’t take effect.

I agree. The Default Style is the fall-back style that applies if no other highlighting rules take effect for a given piece of text. So, yes, the OP should be changing the Default Style if it is desired to change the default values for font, size, color, etc.
