Is it possible to use an external font in Eclipse?
I want to change the font in Eclipse IDE (to JetBrains Mono).
Here is what I tried:
Window > Preferences > General > Appearance > Colors and Fonts > Java > Java Editor Text Font > Edit... > Show more fonts
However, this just brings you to the Windows font settings, rather than actually allowing you to import a font. It seems as if the "Show more fonts" link (see below) is redundant.
Is there a workaround?
Solution
Yes. Fonts are made available to apps such as your IDE (Eclipse) through the host operating system.
- Install the font into the host OS. Download the font zip from the page you linked, unzip the file, right-click on the
.ttfyou intended to use, and pick the option to Install. - Restart your IDE, or perhaps your computer, if necessary.
- Choose your desired font in the settings of your IDE.
