Hi all,  
I think I’m going crazy. Searched the forum but can’t see anyone else mention this: since I downloaded 3.5.4 the IDE font has gone bold in all instances. I am aware I am a little sensitive to not-so-important issues like these, but this really is messing with my OCD.

I trashed my prefs file, yet it still shows up like so:

Is it just me?

@rapatski – were you ever able to resolve this issue? If not, have you opened an issue on GitHub?

Sorry, indeed I did… it turned out to be that I had Source Code Pro also installed on my OS (macOS Catalina), which seemed to cause a conflict. Disabling the font in the OS resolved the problem.
