4.6
Godot 4.6 introduced a grand new UI theme with a lot of changes in editor appearance as well as the default editor font.
In this screenshot, the upper UI is 4.6 while the lower is 4.5
The new theme is good itself,
However, I really miss the font in 4.5, and is wondering whether I can change it back through some editor settings or so.
Currently I believe I can realize it by applying a custom Main Font in the setting, but I don’t know which font was used back in the 4.5.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Uh… I’m sorry, but I really don’t see any difference in the font.
Do you have any more examples?
Take this as an example, the upper is 4.6 and the lower 4.5:
The shapes of letters are changed. For example, the letter ‘C‘ gets longer ends as is circled above in 4.6 than in 4.5.
Also, all the letters seem to be slimer in 4.6 than 4.5 with shorter widths and longer heights. The 4.5 font seems softer and rounder
These are small changes indeed, but together they make a difference, and I’m not getting used to it for now
You have to compile the whole engine, I guess.
Godot Engine – Multi-platform 2D and 3D game engine
here’s what you’ll need
with Scons - A software construction tool
you can maybe search up for a pull request that changed the font Pull requests · godotengine/godot · GitHub
Have a nice day : )

But there should be something to be changed before recompiling, otherwise I’ll only get the same result as the prebuilt one in github releases I think?
yeah you have to change the font,I updated my post
See it, and that’s exactly what I’m doing for now, thank you very much!
But I’ll try to change the editor setting first as recompiling takes much time
Get it!
The PR related is Use Inter as the default editor font, features enabled by DeeJayLSP · Pull Request #111140 · godotengine/godot · GitHub which moved the default font Noto Sans to Inter .
I think I’ll just need to set it back:
and it works!
Thank you again for your help!
