Monospaced Font seems different in different Matlab versions...

I know this question sounds dumb.... But it bothers me. Recently I've installed the Matlab R2014b, but the font in workplace seems to be different form previous version.

In Matlab R2013a, the font looks like:

However in Matlab R2014b, the font looks like:

In both version, the font "Monospaced" are chosen, but the font turns out to be different. I really prefer the previous font, so are there anyway to change the font to keep the old one?

Thanks!!

I started having this problem after installing R2021b Prerelease (previous version was R2021a).

The new editor in 21b has a new font. You can set it back to courier with this, and any other adjustments you want:

s = settings;
s.matlab.fonts.custom.editor.FontToUse.PersonalValue = "CustomFont";
s.matlab.fonts.custom.editor.Name.PersonalValue = "Courier New";

Thanks, but it doesn't actually bring back the previous font.

The previous one looked much like this (would not be identical, since this is from an old latex-generated listing that mimics MATLAB Editor's style):

The new one looks like this (after the proposed fix):

I may not be remembering the exact appearance of the previous font but I think I remember the "0"s (zero) having a dot inside their rings :) Maybe the scaling is off? Because it looks very small to me (although that could be attributed to the fact that I've been coding on Visual Studio -which has a larger font- a lot lately) and increasing the font size does not help :/ Maybe someone could share a screenshot from their R2021a or earlier version.

s.matlab.fonts.custom.editor.Size.PersonalValue = 12; % in point

To adjust the size. Also check your old font in preferences.

I was using everything as default. The size adjustment is also not helping. Anyways, thanks anyway.
