Change font for radian? #344

Closed kalaschnik closed 2 years ago

radian uses the font I set up in my Terminal: i.e., MesloLGS. This font plays nicely with zsh/ohmyzsh and theming:

Yet, for coding I prefer Fira Code which provides nice font ligature making the code look more "natural", and since the native pipe has arrived in R, we have a nice ligature for that too:

It would be great if there would be an option to allow overriding the Terminal font (and font size). As I don’t want to give up MesloLGS for "normal" terminal work, but would love to have Fira Code as soon as radian starts in the terminal. Here is a screenshot that shows Fira Coda at the top and Meslo at the bottom terminal:

So, Fira Code in the Editor and radian would be great!

@kalaschnik I also have different preferences for regular terminal usage and R sessions, so what I've been doing for years is use iTerm 2 for R/radian and Apple's Terminal.app for everything else. Not sure how well that lines up with your specific workflow, but it's worth trying!

radian does not control font or even font sizes. Please raise an issue to vscode-R in your case.
