Editor Font dialog in action

  • Every installed font, rendered in its own typeface โ€” see what you're picking before you pick it
  • Monospace-only toggle โ€” on by default; auto-disables if your current font isn't monospaced so you always see your selection
  • Substring filter โ€” type nerd, mono, codeโ€ฆ case-insensitive
  • Size 6โ€“72 pt with a spinner and arrow-key stepping
  • Live preview while you browse; Revert snaps back to where you started; Cancel closes without saving
  • Resizable, movable dialog โ€” drag the title bar wherever you want

🎨 Live Previews โ€” See style/color and font changes in real time

🔤 NEW! Font Changer โ€” Change the editor font family & size with a searchable live preview
