Discord fonts are more diverse and richer than many people think. This article will guide you how to change the beautiful Discord font as desired.
How to use different fonts on Discord
How to change the font of Discord client
Discord uses the Whitney font on its client and there is no official way to change this default setting. However, you still have ways to use other fonts on Discord.
There are several methods to customize the Discord interface and change the font style. To get started, click the cog icon on the bottom left of the screen and select Appearance from the left-hand menu. Here, you have 3 options:
- Chat font scaling : Change the font size in messages.
- Space between message groups : Change the space between message groups; A group is a collection of multiple messages from the same person in a row.
- Zoom level : Change the zoom level of the entire Discord client.
You can preview changes at the top of the screen (except zoom level, client changes are immediate). The green numbers on the slider are the default settings. All your changes will be saved automatically.
Use other fonts on Discord using third-party tools
Some third-party programs offer the ability to change Discord fonts. Prominent among them is Better Discord. This is a tool that allows you to customize Discord's CSS.
However, note that when using Better Discord, you must accept some possible risks because the program breaks some terms of using Discord's services.
How to use different fonts in Discord Message
When typing a message, Discord does not provide any feature to change the font. However, you can use an external font generator to achieve different effects, use Markdown to format text in italics/bold, change font color using code blocks.
Use a font generator
First, find an online font generator, such as Font Generator Guru, Fancy Text Generator, and Font Space. Enter your message on one of these pages. It will automatically convert text to many different styles. You can then copy the selection style and paste it into Discord.
In theory, these messages do not have to be written in another font. That's why Discord supports them. Instead, the web generates fonts that combine the letters you type with an associated Unicode symbol. Your sentence becomes a series of symbols, not characters. It provides an image of the font, but it's not like you're using a real font like Arial, Times New Roman or Comic Sans.
Use Markdown for formatting
Discord supports Markdown syntax, allowing you to italicize, bold, strikethrough, and underline text in messages. The easiest way to do this is to enter text, highlight it and select the relevant icon from the menu that appears.
Alternatively, you can write your own Markdown or use keyboard shortcuts:
Markdown |
Shortcut |
Result |
*text* |
Ctrl + I |
Italicized |
**text** |
Ctrl + B |
Bold |
__text__ |
Ctrl + U |
Underlined |
~~text~~ |
Ctrl + Shift + S |
Strikethrough |
Use the code block to change the Discord font color
To submit code into Discord, use the following form:
```
Your text here
```
This action will change the font in Discord messages to Consolas (used in the code block). However, the text color will not change. To do that, enter one of the code blocks with a specific font color as follows:
Orange:
```css
[Your text here]
```
Red:
```diff
- Your text here
```
Yellow:
```fix
Your text here
```
Green:
```diff
+ Your text here
```
Green:
```bash
"Your text here"
```
Blue:
```ini
[Your text here]
```
Obviously this syntax is not convenient or easy to remember. Therefore, using a tool like Discord Colored Text Generator will help you quickly get the necessary code and copy it to the clipboard.
The downside of this method of changing the Discord font is that it puts the message or message in a gray box. Although not really beautiful, it will make the content inside stand out. Also, the most annoying thing is that this code doesn't change color on mobile - only those who use Discord on desktop will find it useful.
As you can see, the way to change the Discord font above is quite simple. In addition, you can also take help from Discord's font creation tool, Markdown and code syntax to create many font styles you want to use on this platform. They will change the way your messages are displayed.
Discord is constantly evolving, so it's no surprise that you can change the Discord font . Hope the above instructions are useful to you.
