Change Font to Monocraft

Development Tools IDE 2.x

Aruino 1.8.20

Hello There

I have been tryng for the last 4 houres to change my Arduino Software font to Monocraft,
wich I found on Github.

I am able to change the Software font to any preinstalled font I found on my Laptop,
like for example Verdana, just not to Monocraft.

The font is propperly installed on my PC, I checked this by using the font inside Word.

I also tryed alot of configurations in the preferences.txt file like for example:

editor.font=Monocraft,plain,14
editor.font=Monocraft Medium,plain,14
editor.font=Monocraft_Medium,plain,14
editor.font=Monocraft,Medium,14
editor.font=´Monocraft´,plain,14
editor.font="Monocraft",plain,14
editor.font=monocraft,plain,14
editor.font=monocraft Medium,plain,14
editor.font=monocraft_Medium,plain,14
editor.font=monocraft,Medium,14
editor.font=´monocraft´,plain,14
editor.font="monocraft",plain,14
editor.font=Monocraft,bold,14

and alot more...

In Word when calling up the Font it is just: Monocraft
wich did not help me much.

I tryed tryng to figure out the correct formating, by searching the Font inside.

System Setting>Font>Monocraft

wich provided me witht no Additional Information as well.

Coud it mabey be that custom fonts are not supported by Arduino IDE?

I am close to my Wits End, any Help is Appriciated, thx

Hi @BlueJoshHere. Is there a particular reason you are using Arduino IDE 1.8.20?

I don't have time to mess with Arduino IDE 1.x right now, but I just gave it a try in Arduino IDE 2.0.1 and it works just fine:

If you are interested, I can provide you instructions for configuring Arduino IDE 2.x to use the font.

Instructions for the configuration woud be welcome,
As I cant seem to find it xd.

Thx Advance

The font can be changed in the IDE's advanced settings:

  1. Open the Command Palette by pressing Ctrl+Shift+P (Command+Shift+P for macOS users).
  2. Select the "Preferences: Open Settings (UI)" command.
  3. A "Preferences" tab will now open in the Arduino IDE main panel. In the "Search Settings" field, type font family
  4. You can now set the fonts by entering a font name in the fields of the settings you are interested in customizing (the most significant being the "Editor: Font Family" setting).
    ⓘ This field is a comma-separated lists of font names. The first installed font on the list is used, so a list of multiple fonts provides fallback fonts to use in case the previous ones don't happen to be installed on the system the IDE is running on.
  5. Click the X icon on the "Preferences" tab once you are finished.

The font change will take effect immediately.
