[Solved] Change a font style of script editor in LC9

Post by Jellobus » Sun Mar 17, 2019 7:56 pm

Hello,

Is it possible to change a font style of script editor in LC9 to the same font style used in LC8? Since I've gotten used to work with LC8 font style, switching to LC9 feel unproductive. I have checked a preference but both versions show "Source Code Pro" as a font style. In fact, they have different font styles..

Please let me know if there is a way to change it.

Cheers,

Louis

Erm, Jellobus got that far, they are saying its the same font style name, but they look different.

Could you post a screen shot of the two script editors Jellobus? Alternately, if source code pro changed between one iteration and another of the IDE, I'd guess the only solution would be to switch to a font you are pretty sure won't change, like Arial or something.

I think the OP means style, not font. There is no direct preference to set that, so it has to be hacked.

Jellobus? Is that so?

Hi all,

Problem solved! I changed the font to "Arial" and it feels similar to the font style of LC8.

Thanks!! :mrgreen:
