    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

            cheers Chris Maunder
