    I guess you are looking for<br>
            Preferences enable:
    #syntaxHighlightingAsYouTypeAnsiAssignment.<br>
    and<br>
            Preferences enable:
    #syntaxHighlightingAsYouTypeLeftArrowAssignment.<br>
    (enable only one of them at a time)<br>
    <br>
    #useLeftArrow and #useAlwaysLeftArrow seem useless to me. I think
    we'd just remove them.<br>

    Today I pushed a commit to take the Unicode Arrow glyphs from DejaVu
    if the selected font doesn't include them. Assignment and returns
    should look well in any font.<br>
    <br>
    Some clarifications:<br>
    - There are no specifically "supported fonts". You can use any
    TrueType font you like. We include a few with Cuis for convenience.
    You can add others. Different TrueType fonts will vary in the range
    of glyphs they include.<br>
    - We always use Character 94 for return ( ^ in the keyboard). We
    just display it as an up arrow when it is a return (but not when it
    is used a a binary selector, or in a comment).<br>
    - You can use := or left arrow ( _ in the keyboard) for assignment.
    Your choice. We display _ as a left arrow when it is used for
    assignment (but not when it is used as part of a variable name or
    selector, or in a comment).<br>
