How do you change the Markdown preview font size in IntelliJ IDEA?
(3 answers)
Closed last year.
IntelliJ has a feature that can let us preview Markdown code. An example is shown below:
However, the font used in the preview looks like Arial to me and it's different from the font used in GitHub. Therefore, I want to is it possible to change the preview font (not the font size, it's the font itself) and if so, where can I change it? Thanks!

You can change it via custom CSS in
File | Settings | Languages & Frameworks | Markdown

Some markdown syntax is not showing in IntelliJ preview

I have a URL that's not showing up in preview within IntelliJ;
<mbojorq3#sample_email> and the preview is not showing any changes.
I am also trying to make a sentence either bold or italic by using * *
Would I need to make any changes in order to see them within the preview?
It's a known issue. You can try the workaround with overriding the font used for Markdown preview:
I've submitted a new bug for the email autolink problem.

How do I change the text color of a file with a certain VCS status?

I'm using IntelliJ IDEA 2017.1. I can't seem to find the right setting to change the color of the text in the project view. Specifically the color that is used for a file that has been moved under a version-controlled project. As you can see in the image below, the text color on the Darcula background color is really difficult to read.
Is it possible to configure the color used for files with a specific status?
File status colors can be changed here:
It's possible that you are using some non-standard editor color scheme that is not inherited from one of the default schemes.

JetBrains Idea Custom Ligatures

I have managed to create a few ligatures in some font editing software such as birdfont. However after I have installed my font into windows and I load PhpStorm, I select my font with the ligatures I have created but PhpStorm can't seem to display them.
My question is, can I make ligatures for letter sequences like f u n c t i o n or c l a s s for example? These are non standard ligatures that don't come included with FiraCode but I would really like to be able to make ligatures for these sequences, I have made them externally but how do I get PhpStorm or any JetBrains software to recognize them?
The answer is yes! You can make extra ligatures inside of a font and jetbrains will render them without any extra configuration. See the response from Nikita Prokopov below.
https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/issues/341
I believe it requires using a font editor like Glyphs.app or FontForge for example, so you should be able to configure a ligature character sequence in the font and the corresponding character/glyph in the font and jetbrains will be able to support it out of the box.

Chinese characters in IntelliJ IDEA 12 overlapped

I use IntelliJ IDEA to develop my Android project. I've encountered this issue when editing the string XML resource file today. The Chinese characters do show but just overlapped one by one. So basically all you see is a bunch of Chinese characters filled in and overlapped at single character space. Interestingly, when you try to delete those Chinese characters, you just delete the following XML closing tag but not the Chinese character itself...
Have tried copy/paste, same result. I am using the Windows 32bit version.
Can anybody help to fix this issue?
Please check this issue and linked issues for the problem background.
Right now when IDEA doesn't find the glyph to display in the current editor font that you have set in File | Settings | Editor | Colors & Fonts, Font, it starts to search for the first font that has this glyph and finds some font with incorrect metrics that displays overlapping glyphs.
When this request is implemented, you'll be able to specify the order of fall back fonts so that some properly working font is tried first.
At the moment the solution is to change the editor font to the one that has all the required glyphs and proper font metrics (or to find and uninstall the font that is tried first and is displayed incorrectly, note that when running under JDK 1.7 IDEA will also try .otf fonts, not just .ttf, that is why the behavior is different in IDEA 11 defaulting to JDK 1.6 and IDEA 12 that runs under JDK 1.7).
