Hey guys,

Is it possible to change the font type in Cursor? If so, how do I do it? I cannot find anything in CMD+P settings palette related to Font Type.

Thanks.

Hi @cybercitizen

You can use the APC extension for that:

Steps: Install the APC Customize UI extension ([Apc Customize UI++ - Visual Studio Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=drcika.apc-extension)) In your editor settings, add this: "apc.stylesheet": { ".anysphere-markdown-container-root": "font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.4;" } Change the font size to whatever you want.

Hi, new here. Just wondering. In addition to changing the size, Is it possible to use one of the fonts themselves like ‘fira code retina’ instead of the default?

Yes, of course, you can change the entire interface font to whatever you want.
