Customize fonts on Windows 7 #86

Open verysame opened 6 years ago

verysame commented 6 years ago

This looks great! How can I customize the fonts on Windows 7? I'm changing this:

--default-font: var(--light-sans-font);

into this:

--default-font: var(--Roboto Mono-font);

But I don't see any difference.

Even using a default system font, like verdana, doesn't change it:

--default-font: var(--Verdana-font);

I would actually leave it as is, the only problem right now is that there's a very subtle difference between the normal font and the bold font, so it's hard to tell which messages are unread.

Any hints?

Try:

--default-font: "Roboto Mono";
verysame commented 6 years ago

Awesome! That works. What's the right syntax for the size? I'm trying:

--default-font-size: 16px;

qwertychouskie commented 6 years ago

That sounds right, though I could be wrong.

verysame commented 6 years ago

Thanks for helping, qwertychouskie. I'll try something else as the font-size syntax above doesn't work.

Hi @verysame, for change the font size of all the writings, you can try to add this between row 44 and 45 of userChrome.css (before :root): *{ font-size: 16px; }
