Serif Font when previewing code syntax

[0xCLARITY]

Problem description

Please describe the issue concisely in here. In case of an error: Walk us through the steps you took to get there. What happened? What did you expect to happen?

Previously, code syntax used to be in a monospaced font when creating/editing a card. It now appears to be in Times New Roman or some other serif font.

Perhaps I'm missing the font used for previewing the code syntax on my computer now? This wasn't a problem previously, but something must have changed with my setup recently.

Update:

This does not happen on my 2016 Macbook Pro running Mojave (OS X 10.14.6).

Same deck, (mostly) same extensions. Code Highlighting has the expected monospaced font.

I wonder if this is a bug with OS X 10.15?

This looks like the same bug as: https://github.com/glutanimate/mini-format-pack/issues/9

I'm having a similar issue, and am also on Catalina. It's this font during reviews as well.

This looks like the same bug as: glutanimate/mini-format-pack#9

Same problem with mini-format-pack installed, on Catalina.

I found a temporary solution.

Go to Tools → Add-ons → chosse "synatax highlighting for code" → View Files

Open main.py, then modify the highlight_code function.

# Actual code highlighting
def highlight_code(ed):
    [...]
    pretty_code = process_html(pretty_code) # line 415

    # Add the following line after line 415 (change font type to Menlo)
    pretty_code = pretty_code.replace("style=\"","style=\"font-family: Menlo;")
    [...]

I change the font type to Menlo. You can also change it to other types you like.

Be sure to include the font type in the Styling (shared between cards) part of your card templates. It should be something like this.

.card {
  font-family : Menlo, "PT Mono", Monaco, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; 
  ...
}

Same problem when I upgraded to MacOS 10.15.4 from 10.14.x (During both editing and reviews)
