can't use most of my code fonts

Community Beginner ,
Feb 15, 2017 Feb 15, 2017

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?

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.

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

Edit > Preferences > Fonts > Code view

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

Brackets requires a javascript plug-in in order for it to understand ligature usage -

I should imagine that Dw 2017 will also require the plug-in.

Right, but the OP knows there's no support for Ligature in DW (and mentions that fact in their opening statement), they go on to talk about their custom font preferences for Code View not sticking, which from my experience, isn't the way it should work.

I mentioned the steps to modify them from within the interface in CC2017, an effort to illicit more information and possibly show the OP a method they may or may not be using.

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?

10.12.3, i do indeed have rightfont installed—which now that i think about it must certainly be the issue, but i can't get rid of it because we use it to share fonts at work...operator is in my user fonts folder, though, not rightfont's.

I had only ever used Fontbook before switching to PC and any time a font was duplicated there, DW would insta-hate it.

Hopefully someone with a Mac and Rightfont can stop by and point you toward something that will help.

I am guessing that you have all the information that you need now. Can you mark any of the answers that helped you resolve your issue as correct for the benefit of other users?

Thanks,

Preran
