Change the WordPress Editor Font

I work with WordPress a lot.  By nature, I like to fiddle with things too.  With that said, I have never been a fan of default font that the WordPress Editor uses.  In fact, I can easily say that if I could change it, I would.  Well, fear not fellow users, there is an easy way to spruce up your editor with a new font.

To change your WordPress Editor Font add the following to your theme’s functions.php file

// --------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Start Change WordPress Editor Font
// --------------------------------------------------------------------------
function change_editor_font(){
        echo "<style type='text/css'>
#editorcontainer textarea#content {
  font-family: Monaco, Consolas, \"Andale Mono\", \"Dejavu Sans Mono\", monospace; 
  font-size:14px;
  color:#333; 
}
</style>";
} add_action("admin_print_styles", "change_editor_font");
// --------------------------------------------------------------------------
// End Change WordPress Editor Font
// --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: These functions are not of my own creation, simply things I have found along the way.  If you are the author of this function, please let me know so I can properly credit you with your work!
