Option for font face? about sketchup-console-plus HOT 6 CLOSED

I'd prefer sane defaults over (GUI) configurability, that means inheriting the OS's UI font and the OS's programming font.

Since many programmers like customization and many source code editors offer this (maybe because Windows seems not to allow setting your favorite programming font as OS-wide default), we could implement at least a non-GUI way to override the inherited font.

• Add a key to settings for enabling font override and for selected font
• Add code to sync all html code elements' font with this setting (need to be careful in which component this should be implemented without hardcoding references to certain elements)
• Settings are stored in registry. Not sure whether to introduce rather a configuration file for manual editing (using both adds complexity, or maybe replace registry by config file).

Simplest might be to use Sketchup.read_default and pass that to the dialog as it boots (or as param in the file URL). That and document the setting.

I have been playing around with Ace myself the last few days - for a "Snippet-Player". Was able to set the font.

this.editor.setOptions({
        fontFamily: "Fira Code; monospace",
        fontSize: "14pt"
      });

Yes, but there are more places (console output is not an ace editor, but a look-alike).
In the back-end I use read-default, so that is at the moment the registry or plist, if that is not too inconvenient to edit manually then I can leave it as it is.

Yea, that's fine by me. It'd be a one-time set-and-forget on each machine (SU instance). Mentioning that in the GitHub README is enough for me. (Maybe useful in the extension description.)

It's a tool for developers after all. Sublime, VS Code all have you set settings via editing settings files. I see this to be no different.

Added in branch feature_font_family and merged to master.
