Thanks, I hate it. My most recent update of IntelliJ turned this font on by default and I had to spend an hour trying to figure out what the font used to be. Mono looked squished to me - the intentional favoring of length over width made the whole editor look like I had an aspect ratio problem on my monitor. I appreciate trying to push the envelope and improve ergonomics, but I wish this would have been opt-in for upgraders.

Mine didn't? What update version did you update to that turned this on by default?
- dtertman 7y ago
  Ultimate 2019.3 on Mac

    I have the same version, and when I updated it stayed with Fira Code as the default as per my color schema.
    - dtertman 7y ago
      Yeah, that's the rub it seems - if you picked a default, you kept your default. If you had the old JetBrains default, you now got the new JetBrains default.

What did it used to be? You could have taken the opportunity to switch to Inconsolata.
- dtertman 7y ago
  I picked "Monospaced" - I couldn't find any clear documentation of what it was, and that looked OK.

  On Windows I seem to have Consolas as the default

Interesting. It didn't do that for me. But, I had already specifically set my font. So, maybe it changed the previous default to this new font.
- dtertman 7y ago
  Easy to believe this is true - I hadn't set a preference before, the old default was fine.

  It looks like that is the case.

  Yeah, changing the font if you had specifically configured it before would have caused some angry reactions I imagine...

> My most recent update of IntelliJ turned this font on by default and I had to spend an hour trying to figure out what the font used to be. For anyone who wants that info: it's Menlo on on my rather old Mac OS IntelliJ installation. Pretty sure that's the default, since if I'd made any changes I'd have switched it to Courier.

  Thank you for this! Could not find it in a search anywhere.

My font didn't change (Still Fira Code), but the look of the text changed in last update. Hard to put my finger on. Some of the text looks more blurry, and I'm noticing more bold than before, but I can't tell if that's mismemory or not.
- dtertman 7y ago
  I had that experience (while hunting for the old default) as well - really nothing looked "good" or at least like it used to.

  Try changing the antialiasing to Greyscale under Appearance & Behavior - Appearance. That made it less blurry for my PhpStorm installation on macOS.
