Font used to display code
-
Hi all Is there a way to change the font CP uses to display code snippets in articles? My new tablet is currently showing code in Courier New and I always code in a non serif font. Regards

Do you have Consolas installed? The CSS for the code shows:
font-family: Consolas, "Courier New", Courier, mono
So Courier New is a "fallback" font, if Consolas isn't installed. (You can see this by using Chrome Inspect, then looking at the Computed tab for the element.)

Many thx OG, I'll pursue that idea. [Update] Bummer. Consolas is a MS font and appears not to be available on Android. Would it be feasible to have a fallback for Consolas in the same way there is a fallback for Courier New?

Might be a dumb idea, but can you download a font you like and rename it so your browser thinks it's consolas?

Yeah, totally. I'll just replace courier with monospace which will be Droid Sans Mono on Android
