Fonts

NuvoPad Pro lets you choose any system font for the editor and adjust the base font size to suit your reading preferences.

Pro Feature

Custom editor font family and font size requires the NuvoPad Pro upgrade ($9.99 one-time payment). Free users will see an upgrade prompt when accessing this feature.

Where to Change Fonts

Font settings are in Settings → Editor (Ctrl+, → Editor tab). Two settings are available:

Font Family

The Font Family field accepts any font name installed on your system. Enter the name exactly as it appears in Windows Font settings — for example:

Fira Code
Cascadia Code
Consolas
JetBrains Mono
Courier New

If the font name you enter is not installed, the editor falls back to the system monospace font. The preview in the settings panel updates as you type.

💡 Tip

Coding fonts with ligature support (such as Fira Code or Cascadia Code) work well in Source and Split editor modes where you write raw Markdown.

Font Size

The Font Size field sets the base font size in pixels. The default is 15. Accepted range is approximately 10 to 48.

📝 Note

Font size set here is separate from the editor zoom level (Ctrl+= / Ctrl+-). Zoom temporarily scales all content; font size is the persistent base value stored in settings.
