Hi,
We really don't have control over which fonts can be selected. That's a
Qt issue (Qt is the graphical toolkit on top of which Spyder is built).
Cheers,

Hi Folks,
I've seen several posts and bug reports open about the subject of font
selection in the editor, but no one has addressed why many of the
Truetype Monospaced fonts are not selectable. I want to select fonts
that have clear, readily identifiable differences between 0 (zero) and
O (capital "oh") or 1 (one) and l (small "el") and I (capital "eye").
For example, I can select Cousine, Inconsolata, DejaVu Sans Mono,
Liberation Mono and Noto Mono: but I can't select Noto Sans Mono,
Mechanical or Share Tech Mono despite the fact that they are all coded
and readily identified as monospaced fonts by the system. All are
installed under '/usr/share/fonts/', have permissions of 644 and "sudo
fc-cache -srv" has no effect.
Ironically I can also select Noto Color Emoji and Noto Emoji, if I was
so inclined, which really messes up the spacing and alignment despite
pretending to be monospaced (maybe Google should change them to
"expanded" instead, I can only assume there is a technical reason for
specifying them as "monospaced" such as scaling or kerning).
So what's the deal? Why does only a subset of truetype, monospaced
fonts appear in the selection box?
Sincerely,
Ken Bassford
