currently ctrl - reduces the font of some elements outside the editor, but ctrl + does nothing so you get stumped really fast.... – matanster

Open commands pane (^Space), search for "User behaviour". This will open config file. Add the following into the middle (LightTable 0.7+):

[:editor :lt.objs.style/font-settings "Menlo" 13 2]

On older LightTable versions add this instead:

:editor [:lt.objs.editor/no-wrap
              (:lt.objs.style/font-settings "Menlo" 13 2) ;; font-family: Menlo, font-size: 13px, line-height: 2em
              (:lt.objs.style/set-theme "default")]

  • Press CTRL Space and search "user behaviors"

*Click on Settings: User behaviors

*Uncomment (remove ;;) under ;; Common behaviors to consider the following line ;;[:app :lt.objs.style/font-settings "Arial" "13"] and change the last value which represents the font size

Put following line in user.behaviors:

[:app :lt.objs.plugins/load-css "/home/<your_username>/.config/LightTable/console.css"]

In console.css put something like this:

ul.console, em.file, em.line {
    font-family:"DejaVu Sans"
    font-size:12px;
}

ul.console > li > table > tr > td > pre {
    font-family:"Ubuntu Mono";
    font-size:12px;
}

Of course, you need not have two different font families as filename and output are already printed in different colors, but there it is.

CSS styling is not dynamically reloaded as user keybindings and behaviors, if you change your CSS, you need to close & reopen LightTable. That should be fixed, hopefully someone will open an issue at github issue tracker. ;)
