Colabtools: Allow changing font size and picking font type inside the code cell

Created on 1 May 2019  路  3Comments  路  Source: googlecolab/colabtools

Bug report for Colab: http://colab.research.google.com/.

For questions about colab usage, please use stackoverflow.

  • Describe the current behavior: The current Colab version as of (05/01) does not allow increasing either the font size, or picking the font inside the code cells. While this can be somewhat remedied by zooming in, that increases the size of _all_ the other elements on the page.

  • Describe the expected behavior: Allow increasing font size, picking font etc. within the code cell.

  • The web browser you are using (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.): Chrome

  • Link to self-contained notebook that reproduces this issue
    (click the Share button, then Get Shareable Link): N/A

Hi there! Thanks for the feedback:

You can specify what font is being used by the editor (lear more here -- https://research.google.com/colaboratory/faq.html#editor-font-family)

You can now also specify the font size via Tools -> Settings -> Editor

+1 for this
the font size is too small for code cell.

The new editor does have a slightly larger font size: https://colab.research.google.com/notebooks/editor_details.ipynb

Are the other font sizes within Colab sufficient? Typically browser zoom is used to increase all fonts together.
