Question

can't use most of my code fonts

a friend just turned me onto firacode which doesn't really work in dreamweaver since there's no ligature support in code view. which i realize is a new kind of weird thing to ask for, but i also have a couple nice mono fonts like operator and menlo and sf mono and when i tried to use them for code view, dreamweaver just falls back to the default (courier, i think). also none of my regular fonts work either which like, i wouldn't want to use a non-monospaced font for coding, but it's a free gd country and i should have the option, y'know?

DWCC2017 should see pretty much any font you have installed on your system when you change it under...

I just changed mine to a "spraipaint stencil" font and it took. Looked horrible, but took.

Hmmm, the font being shown in your code view doesn't look like either Operator Mono Book, or the default Source Code Pro. It's closer to OMB than SCP, but still not correct.

Which OS are you using?
Are you using any font management tools vs directly installing on your system?

Brackets extension support is planned for Dreamweaver, so at some point in the future, (hopefully the next full version update) this will work in Dreamweaver using the Brackets extension.
