Scrivener is such a good tool that I would rather pay $ 99 or $ 149 and get a complete tool that allows more and better control of things like this.Īnd I bought the book Scrivener for Dummies to figure out things that are not intuitive, not obvious, or are hidden in random menus (rather than placed where things like them always appear in other programs), or that I missed in the linear tutorial. Where is the right click “context menu” that I can use when I click in Document Notes, Select All, and then select Font?

I have document notes in so many different fonts it’s a joke. I can hit CTR+N and create a new document, then when I go into Document Notes and TYPE in new document notes in a new document the font is always random. And about the “affects only new documents” caveat–no it doesn’t. And even when I reset all fonts to default they are still the same jacked up pasted in format. All of the Document Notes still hold onto what ever font and ugly background format and colors I pasted from. Tools > Options > Appearance > General > Document Notes

I Agree that the should instead be the word “Font” – don’t make me try to guess and think through some designer’s idea of an icon that represents a word in their mind when we grew up since babies learning how to relate ideas to words. I love Scrivener and it is my first tool I use always (not only for writing), but I echo the batshit craziness of some of the features and controls. Glad to hear that you love other aspects of Scrivener, and thank you for spreading news regarding how to change the default editor font. We obviously wouldn’t want new font settings to automatically alter anything you had already written in order to prevent the overwriting of documents with a specific layout.

This is all naturally covered in our Scrivener Manual on page 214. The tool tip ‘Show Fonts’ appears as soon as you hover over the problematic “A”. ScrivenerApp: “Glad you sussed it Kait! Coded from the ground up according to Windows standards by the way. “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.
