“We Windows folks expect a nice drop down box.” You: “FYI, the really important part you’re leaving out is that it’s that random little “A” that gets you to FONT.” And then use Documents > Convert > Formatting to Default Text Style to change offending docs. You can go to Tools > Options… > Editor to change the default font used for…” You: “How do you permanently change the Editor font for all docs in Scrivener for Windows?” Editor Font Kait Nolan Scrivener Writers Post navigationįelt like I helped you as best I could within the word limitation bounds of Twitter: In any event, this is how you change the Editor font in Scrivener to something that makes you less stabbity. It is my understanding that if you are to run this feature on existing scenes (or other documents), it will preserve font size, alignment, tabs and indents, spacing BUT NOT ANY ITALICS OR OTHER FONT FORMATTING.
In my case, I just converted font only because everything that I was changing was a new scene. If you want to change the default on old stuff (like, say, all the scenes you laid out for the ENTIRE SECOND HALF of your book the other day) you need to select all of the scenes you want to change and then go here.Īt this point you decide what all you want to change.
Now that’s perfectly reasonable looking isn’t it? Pick your preferred font. WHY they can’t have a dropdown menu for font like EVERYBODY ELSE, I don’t know. That’s what they use as their symbol for font. Now see that little random italicized A? Yeah, that’s the button. First you must go to TOOLS–>Options–>Editor. So I wanted to share here with nice easily searchable terms and a title and SCREENSHOTS because this is not remotely OBVIOUS. I’d been resorting to changing everything scene by scene, which is an understandable pain in the patootie.
I have spent HOURS searching for information on how to change this, poring over the Scrivener manual, asking googling, to no avail. I believe it should be stricken from fonts everywhere (sadly you can’t delete it from your machine as it is considered a system font). The fact that the default font is Courier New. But one thing about it makes me want to go on a crazed, Sweeny Todd style hacking spree. It’s got so many awesome awesome features.
