Select font

Select font picks which font family fman draws its UI in. The default is the one fman has always used on your platform; six more ship with it, and every font installed on the machine is offered too.

Usage

1. Open the command palette with Ctrl+Shift+P.
2. Type select font and press Enter.
3. Pick a family. The list is every font Qt can see, with the active one preselected and marked current, and Theme default first.

It applies immediately — no restart — and is remembered across restarts.

Theme default is the way back: it forgets your choice so the active theme decides again, which for a theme that names no font means fman's default for the platform (Roboto on Windows, Open Sans on Linux, Helvetica Neue on macOS).

Reset font does exactly that without making you scroll a list of every font on the machine.

The list is long, because it is genuinely every installed family — type a few letters of the one you want. The palette matches on initials too, so jbm finds JetBrains Mono.

This is the family, not the size

Alt+Up and Alt+Down change how big the file list's text is. This command changes which typeface the whole UI uses. They are independent: zooming never changes the family, and picking a font never resets a zoom.

Commands

Command name	Palette label	Default key
select_font	Select font	none
reset_font	Reset font	none

typeface, font family, change font, monospace, ui font and text font also find Select font; default font, theme font, reset typeface and clear font find Reset font. They are hidden keywords, so the rows read as above.

{ "keys": ["Ctrl+Alt+F"], "command": "select_font" }

Fonts fman bundles

Six families ship with fman on top of the two it has always used (Roboto and Open Sans), so a theme can ask for one without depending on what your machine has installed:

Family	The theme that uses it
JetBrains Mono	Dracula, WezTerm
Fira Code	Gruvbox Dark
IBM Plex Sans	Nord
Public Sans	Solarized Dark, Solarized Light
Share Tech Mono	Matrix
Atkinson Hyperlegible	High Contrast

You can pick any of them under any theme — the pairing is only what that theme asks for by default.

Themes

A theme may name a font of its own, and switching theme applies it. Your own choice wins and survives a theme switch, until you pick Theme default or run Reset font:

1. Your Select font choice, if you have made one.
2. Otherwise the active theme's "font".
3. Otherwise fman's default for the platform.

A family fman cannot find is not an error — Qt quietly falls back to its own font. So if a pick appears to do nothing, the family is not installed under that exact name.
