Customize Your Code Font

Brackets doesn't officially support a preference for changing the code editor font. But here's a quick hack you can use to work around issues like lack of Russian/Cyrillic support:

Quick solution

1. Locate the installed Brackets source:
   • On Mac, right-click Brackets and choose Show Package Contents, then expand the "Contents" folder.
   • On Windows, navigate to your install folder (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Brackets).
2. Edit the file www/styles/brackets_theme_default.less
   • On Windows, due to UAC, you may need to copy this file to another location, edit it, then copy it back.
3. Find the .code-font() rule and change the font-family as needed.
4. Restart Brackets

Downside: When you update Brackets, these changes will be lost and you'll have to repeat these steps.

Caveat: Additional steps are needed if you want to use a web font (loaded via @font-face) rather than just referencing by name a font that's installed on your OS.

More permanent solution

1. Write a Brackets extension
2. In your extension, use ExtensionUtils.addEmbeddedStyleSheet() to inject your own custom CSS
3. In your custom CSS, override the .CodeMirror style with your new font-family

Caveat: Same as above, additional steps are needed if you want to use a web font (loaded via @font-face).
