Where to find the font settings in Reframework

Reframework is a templating system used in UiPath Studio, the automation software that builds workflows for repetitive business tasks. To change the font that displays in your Reframework templates, you work inside UiPath Studio itself — there is no separate Reframework process to open.

The font settings live in two places depending on what you want to change: the text editor where you write template code, or the visual preview that shows how your template will look. Most people need to change the editor font first, since that is where you spend time reading and writing.

Start by opening your Reframework project in UiPath Studio. Look for the template file in your project — it will have a name like Framework.xaml or Template.xaml depending on your setup. Double-click it to open the file in the editor.

Key Takeaways

  • Font changes in Reframework happen through UiPath Studio's editor settings, not within Reframework itself.
  • The editor font is controlled through Tools > Settings > Editor in UiPath Studio, where you can pick any system font and set the size in points.
  • Changing the font does not affect how your automation runs — it only changes what you see while you work.
  • If the font you want is not listed, it must be installed on your computer first through Windows Settings or a font manager.

Changing the editor font through UiPath Studio settings

Open UiPath Studio and go to the menu bar at the top. Click Tools, then select Settings from the dropdown. A settings window will open with several categories on the left side.

Look for Editor in the left panel and click it. You will see options for font, font size, and text appearance. The font dropdown shows all fonts installed on your computer. Click the dropdown and scroll to find the font you want — common choices are Consolas, Courier New, or Monaco if you prefer a monospace font, or Segoe UI if you prefer a sans-serif font.

Once you pick a font, set the size using the Font Size field. Most people use 10 to 12 points for comfortable reading. After you make your choice, click OK at the bottom of the settings window. The change takes effect when ready in any open editor tabs.

Installing a font if it is not in the list

If the font you want does not appear in the dropdown, it is not installed on your computer yet. You will need to install it before UiPath Studio can use it.

On Windows, right-click the font file (usually a .ttf or .otf file) and select Install. Windows will copy it to your Fonts folder. On a Mac, double-click the font file and click Install Font in the dialog that appears. After installation, restart UiPath Studio and the font will show up in the editor settings dropdown.

If you do not have a font file yet, you can read free fonts from sites like Google Fonts or DaFont. read the file to your computer, then follow the installation steps above.

What happens when you change the font

Changing the editor font affects only what you see while you work in UiPath Studio. It does not change the font in any output, reports, or user-facing screens that your automation produces. It also does not change how the automation runs or what it does.

The font change applies to all Reframework files and other code files you open in that Studio instance. If you want different fonts for different projects, you would need to change the setting each time you switch projects.

Reverting to the default font

If you want to go back to the default font that came with UiPath Studio, return to Tools > Settings > Editor and look for a Reset or Restore Defaults button. Clicking it will return all editor settings, including font, to what they were when you first installed Studio.

If you do not see a reset button, you can manually select the default font. UiPath Studio typically ships with Consolas as the default editor font at 10 or 11 points. Set it back to that and the appearance will match a fresh installation.

Troubleshooting font changes that do not appear

If you change the font but the editor still shows the old one, try closing all open files and closing UiPath Studio completely. Reopen Studio and the new font should display. Sometimes the change does not take effect until you restart the process.

If the font still does not change, check that you clicked OK to save your settings, not Cancel. Also verify that the font you selected is actually installed — if Windows could not install it, it will still appear in the dropdown but may not work correctly. Try selecting a different font to confirm the setting is working.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does changing the font affect how my automation runs?

No. The font is only what you see in the editor while you write and edit your code. It has no effect on how the automation executes, what it does, or any output it produces.

Can I use different fonts for different files?

Not without changing the setting each time. The editor font setting applies to all files you open in UiPath Studio. If you want a different font for a specific project, you would change the setting, work on that project, then change it back.

What font should I use if I find the default hard to read?

Monospace fonts like Consolas, Courier New, or Monaco are designed for code and make it easier to spot spacing issues. If you prefer a cleaner look, Segoe UI or Fira Code work well. Try a few and pick whichever you find easiest to read for long periods.

Why is the font I installed not showing up in the dropdown?

Restart UiPath Studio after installing a new font. Windows and Mac do not always make newly installed fonts available to running applications until you restart them. If it still does not appear, verify the font installed correctly by checking your system font settings.

Can I change the font size without changing the font itself?

Yes. In Tools > Settings > Editor, keep the font name the same and change only the Font Size field. Click OK and the size will update while the font stays the same.
