IDASkins change Hex-Rays Decompiler font to Fixedsys in IDA 7.0 about idaskins HOT 6 CLOSED

Oh, cool, so HR finally realised that nobody liked Fixedsys. Could you quickly Hex-Edit the string in the binary to Consolas and check whether it actually fixes the issue? I don't have decompilers.

Changing Fixedsys to Consolas fixes the issue :) ( at least it works on my machine )

Wondering why we need to return a constant value under Windows.
Is there any problem if we return another font according to the config file?

from idaskins.

What config file are you referring to? The skin manifest? This function obtains the font values set in the IDA settings. If the font wasn't manually changed by the user, the config keys aren't set and we have to fall back to the IDA defaults — which, unless they changed that, happen to be the system default on Unix and Fixedsys/Consolas on Windows. Thus the constant.

Oh I know.....
Now I understand why it is a const value.
Thanks.

Also the size of font is fixed at 10 after restarting, although I have changed the settings before restarting :(

Okay, I know how to solve :)
Font size is fixed here
https://github.com/zyantific/IDASkins/blob/master/src/IdaFontConfig.cpp#L63
so xref "Size" in dll of the plugin, and patch it from "mov ebx,10" to "mov ebx,font you want"
should be easy for ones who use IDA to do reverse engineering :)
