adding a new font to pycharm on windows 10 computer
已回答
I'm running Pycharm 2020.3.2 on windows 10.
I've created a few ttf files, lets call them My-JetbrainsMono.
I want to be able to see that font in settings->editor->font
I haven't seen a canonical method of doing this, so I just kinda rummaged around, this is what I tried so far:
I've installed them on the machine itself, added them to "JetBrains\PyCharm 2020.3.2\jbr\lib\fonts", edited "JetBrains\PyCharm 2020.3.2\jbr\lib\fonts\fonts.dir" (just copied the JetBrainsMono configuration and added the respective "My-" at the start).
still, no font there :/
so, what else should I do / what should i do instead?

Hi,
Try installing that font globally for your system. After that, PyCharm should be able to use it.
See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53634816/intellij-idea-install-new-fonts?answertab=votes#tab-top
I tried that, it doesnt seem to be working. Is a font name just the file name or is it some inner property of the file? maybe I made a mistake there.
Could you please check whether those fonts appear if you uncheck Show only monospaced fonts under Settings | Editor | Font?
If the problem remains please upload your TTF files and IDE logs at https://uploads.jetbrains.com (do not forget to specify the UploadID)
The problem still persists.

I'm almost certain this has to do with me not understanding font files (as this is literally me testing the creation of a new font for the first time).
So I really appreciate the help.
It looks like renaming the file name is not enough to rename the font. I created a small sample project to check how Java load this font and here is what I see in the debugger:
See https://superuser.com/questions/120593/how-do-you-change-a-ttf-font-name on how to rename the font.
it worked! thank you so much, you're figuratively a lifesaver ;)
