title: How to change font in ipython notebook
body: <p>I am fairly new to python and have no html experience. The question has been asked and either not answered at all or not answered in enough detail for me to set the default font within iPython (not change to browser). Specifically, what has to be put in the css file and which css file should be used? I am on a Windows system.</p>

  <p><strong>Edit:</strong>
  Changing the monospace font in my browser worked, as suggested in an answer comment of #1. However the font is italic, which is not what is intended. </p>
