How can I change menu font in Android Studio?

Question

All the fonts in the editor have suddenly become bold as you can see in the picture. I don't think it was something I did. Where can I set the font style for this?

I'm using Android Studio 2.1 on an Ubuntu machine if that makes any difference.

Answer 1

Go to 'File' --> 'Settings' and under 'Appearance & Behavior' to go 'Appearance'. Try forcing a change with the fonts by clicking on the 'Override default fonts by (not recommended):' and choosing a font style & font size. Click 'Ok', see how this changes your font bold issue and perhaps change back.

That did fix the fonts in the settings window. But the sidebar of the IDE remained the same. – Cony

did manually resetting Android Studio to default settings do the trick? – Calque

No :( Unfortunately that didn't fix it either. – Cony

Answer 2

The other way to remedy this situation is to reset all settings back to default. I am running Android Studio in Windows, so I only know how to do this in Windows, but it should be similar in Linux:

Go to your User Folder: Example: In Windows this would be something like C:\Users\JohnDoe\

Inside that folder there should be another folder called .AndroidStudioBeta or .AndroidStudio (notice the period at the start - so on some OSes it would be hidden).

Delete this folder (or better yet, move it to a backup location so you can fix things if something goes wrong).

This should reset your Android Studio settings to the default.
