Customize fonts in JIRA UI

[Mohan Shash]

What I wanted to know whether it was possible to change the font just from Settings in Jira. I couldn't find anything like that. I used to use Stylish plugin before Google banned it from their store for privacy issues. I think it should be possible to have a workaround w/o any plugin somehow, but I haven't looked deeper into this.

However if there is no option for custom font in Jira GUI, it would be nice feature to have for these cases.

Hi Mohan!

Unfortunately, there is no way to change the font type from the UI.

Although there is an open suggestion (still gathering interest), you can take a look and vote to it.

• Allow to change the fonts and their size

If changing the font using other methods became an option, the quickest way is to add this code within the Announcement Banner (I've used Verdana as an example, change it to match your needs):

<style>
body#jira p, ul, ol, dl, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, form.aui, table.aui, .aui-tabs, .aui-panel, .aui-group
{
font-family: verdana;
}
</style> 

 Hope this helps.

Best Regards.

Altassian Jira uses a font where the numeral (digit) "1" is narrower than the rest of the numerals.  This make number not aligned vertically and reduces the efficiency of reading numbers.  The "reduces productivity" is very unsuitable.  In fact, all such fonts should be modified so that the numeral "1" has the same width as the rest of the numerals.  Thank you.
