After upgrading to 3.3. I find that the HTML New Post Editor uses a (small) monospaced font instead of the one that was used before (Lucida Grande, I think).
How can I change it to a (larger) non-monospaced typeface?
3.3 HTML editor now uses monospaced font (11 posts)

WP's been using that since 3.2 IIRC.
You can edit it by making a plugin: http://tech.ipstenu.org/hacks/wordpress-html-editor-font/

Posted 5 months ago #I noticed the change too. For WP 3.2 I changed mine to Verdana with a fix by Justin Tadlock. Now 3.3 has done something to undo the fix, and the monospaced font is back.
No luck with Ipstenu's plugin. (I tried...fatal error).

That's odd, Peter, I'm using it on my 3.3 site and it works just fine.

Posted 5 months ago #Thank you, fodden and clnewbill. The HTML editor has been restored to its readable self.
Ipstenu, I must have installed your plugin incorrectly. I put it in the regular plugins folder.
