What font is best to use for viewing CSS in Sigil?
Hello.
I am fairly new to Sigil and a complete novice at coding but am teaching myself CSS by trying different things in Sigil in my ebook, "CSS experiment" I was working in Sigil with my Stylesheet and in Code View and was wondering if there is a font that would be better/more user friendly to use? (For clarification: Not an embedded font in the ebook but one for viewing CSS in Sigil.) I am using "Courier New" at the moment (it was the default one in Sigil). Any ideas or opinions are most welcome. Thanks in advance, Rindr PS. I couldn't find any similar threads where this question was asked/answered but if there are any, a link would be much appreciated. |

Code view font is independent of the book.
In the Sigil context: CSS, OPF, NCX are all 'code view' Since this has no effect on the saved book, pick whatever I happen to use: consolas 14pt (on W10) as being easy on my old eyes |

I second Source Code Pro. It is my default monospace font for Sigil, Visual Studio (Code) and Notepad++.

Thank you so much for this tip! I had no idea you could add fonts to Sigil simply by adding them to your system. But duh, of course it would work that way I am so dense — and so happy with this new-for-me ability
