Ulysses distinguishes between writing and formatting your text to enable distraction-free writing. That means: Writing happens in the editor, but formatting happens during the export of your document.
Now what if you’d like to change the font of your text? No problem! Ulysses lets you adjust fonts separately for the editor and the exported document.
Please note that both settings are independent of one another. That means: The font you choose for your editor is not automatically the font of your exported document. If you would like to learn more about customizing the font of the exported document, please check out the guide Customize an Export Style.
