How to Change Font in Ipython Notebook

How to change font in ipython notebook

You can hover to .ipython folder (i.e. you can type $ ipython locate in your terminal/bash OR CMD.exe Prompt from your Anaconda Navigator to see where is your ipython is located)

Then, in .ipython, you will see profile_default directory which is the default one. This directory will have static/custom/custom.css file located.

You can now apply change to this custom.css file. There are a lot of styles in the custom.css file that you can use or search for. For example, you can see this link (which is my own customize custom.css file)

Basically, this custom.css file apply changes to your browser. You can use inspect elements in your ipython notebook to see which elements you want to change. Then, you can changes to the custom.css file. For example, you can add these chunk to change font in .CodeMirror pre to type Monaco

.CodeMirror pre {font-family: Monaco; font-size: 9pt;}

Note that now for Jupyter notebook version >= 4.1, the custom css file is moved to ~/.jupyter/custom/custom.css instead.

Python Jupyter - Change default font

You can modify the styles of Jupyter notebook by adding values to the file in;

.jupyter\custom\custom.css

If the custom dir isn't in .jupyter just make it and add custom.css in it.

In your new blank custom.css file you can add something like this to change the font for the code mirror;

.CodeMirror pre, .CodeMirror-dialog, .CodeMirror-dialog .CodeMirror-search-field, .terminal-app .terminal {
    font-family: YOUR-FAV-FONT;
    font-size: 12pt;
}

Here is a example of a pimped out custom.css. It's from my one-dark-notebook repo on github. feel free to clone/fork it and do whatever.

Change ipython notebook font type

The ipython notebook (the web interface to ipython) uses standard html/css to define the appearance. If you make changes to these files, it will alter the appearance of your ipython notebook.

Locate your ipython egg distribution. I installed mine using easy_install, so my path looks like this:

/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ipython-0.12.1-py2.6.egg/IPython/frontend/html/notebook/static/css

Basically you just want to find the ipython install location, then go to the path shown above. Update your css, restart your ipython server, and you should be good to go.
