How to change the font in RIDE for Dyalog APL?

Question

There are many APL Fonts I am interested in using with the Remote IDE for Dyalog APL.

How do I change the font in RIDE?

Answer 1

RIDE is essentially a Chromium web browser and fonts are controlled by CSS. so if you could find the CSS file style/ride-base.css in your installation (for example /Applications/Dyalog.app/Contents/Resources/Dyalog/RIDEapp/style on macOS), you can modify the line that defines apl font family to the font that you desire.

Or you can F12 in RIDE to open the web inspector to test out the font on the fly.

Answer 2

You can also use <CTRL>+<+> and <CTRL>-<-> to increase/descrease the font size.
