Request 🙂

“It would be great if the Processing IDE allowed font customization. The default font appears somewhat incomplete.”

Hello @CyberianWolf ,

The editor and console font can be changed in _Preferences_ (explore the menus to find this):

I am not aware of any way to change the font in the Processing IDE (also called PDE - Processing Development Environment):

_Enhancements_ can be submitted here:  
_[GitHub - processing/processing4: Source code for the Processing Core and Development Environment (PDE)](https://github.com/processing/processing4)_

Read the section on [Contributing to Processing](https://github.com/processing/processing4?tab=readme-ov-file#contributing-to-processing)

Peruse the _issues_ tab for examples before proceeding.  
Sometimes there is already a related issue open.
