Are you sure there's no extension messing with the fonts? The rest of the Scratch GUI is defined to have a sans serif font, not a monospace font, unless your computer happens to not have Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, nor Arial.

body {
  font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
}

“unless your computer happens to not have Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, nor Arial”

That's actually true. I deleted most of the fonts from my PC as they are useless. For each font I deleted, there's something better (namely Consolas). And that Tahoma is fake, it's required for FontForge to display correctly. Sorry if I'm speaking in an off-topic language.

why would you do that

Anybody know why the microbit extension in scratch-vm lacks support for write operations? I was thinking about making a contribution to the code for that but wasn't sure if there was an architectural limitation/reason that would prevent this?

what write operations are you talking about?

Current project: [s3Blocks: scratchblocks rewritten for Scratch 3.0] ::#4b4a60 //https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/290031/ Basically done!

Digital writes on the GPIO pins.

Because those fonts like Arial and Times New Roman are so useless…

Because the Scratch Link and the microbit .hex file are closed source at the moment, its tricky to see how to add in the ability to control the GPIO pins.

When (or if) these become open source, then it will be possible to look into what can be achieved

Arright I'll bite, but only cuz I already wrote this rant – you can't both delete default fonts from your computer and then complain when software expects them to be there. And the ST did include a contingency for users like you who don't have one of the above fonts installed: it defaults to the system sans-serif font which does mean something specific, no matter what operating system/browser combo you're using. If you prefer Consolas or whatever over Arial/Helvetica, why not set your browser to treat Consolas as the system sans font so you can use Scratch 3.0 with it? And if you've already done that, why are you complaining?

It's reasonable of the ST to assume that most users will have one of those fonts installed because Helvetica comes on OSX and iOS, and Arial comes on Windows, which according to statcounter.com covers around 55% of all (personal?) computers worldwide. On Android, “sans-serif” defaults to Roboto. Roboto is similar to Helvetica which is probably why they're okay with not naming an Android font explicitly – so that covers another 38% of browser market share. And worst case for that other 7% they default to a subpar system sans-serif font, which (if the browser is up to spec) should still work just fine. Heck, it'd still work fine with a serif font as long as you could read it. Moreover, Scratch is meant to be used in schools where I imagine they're even more likely to be using a popular OS that hasn't had these fonts removed.

I am NOT self-complaining at all. It's true that the “Serif” font in the PNG and SVG editors built-in into Scratch is requesting a system font. This doesn't occur with the rest of the fonts, which come from the server.

How do you set the slider variable value (max and minimum value) in Scratch 3.0.?
If not, has the Scratch Team removed it?

The feature hasn't been removed, it hasn't been added yet though. It is still in Scratch's .sb3 project.json so you can edit it there.

I also like scratch 3.0, but some disadvantages should also be seen.
1) Cloud variables
2) Hacked blocks

Note: This is no offence, but trying to help to make scratch better, because I love scratch and I have been using it since scratch 2.0.

Signature- Happy to help

I wouldn't say the cloud variables are that worse off. They do have a 256 digit limit rather than 128.

Scratch is written is HTML, if I am right…

It is written in HTML5, but that's not the same thing as HTML. It's actually written mainly in JavaScript which is part of HTML5. HTML5 sort of means the tools supported by a modern web browser.

The project json is the file which holds the blocks and stuff. It's not written like a programing language, eg. move(10); think(“Hello”). It is written in JSON which serves a similar purpose to XML if you've heard of that.

Actually, HTML is completely different than Javascript. HTML5 is simply the latest version of HTML, and they are quite similar. Javascript is where the actual coding is. Although many things are made in Javascript, they are referred to as HTML or HTML5, which is appropriate as there is strong interactions between them and they are natively supported in browsers.

I didn't mean to say JavaScript was HTML, I meant it is often considered part of HTML5. Like you said but more clearly than I did.

Yes. HTML can integrated into JavaScript, but they are 2 completely different Languages.
