Matlab Live script editor font does not respect settings

I am using a live script and the code font is horrendous. It is not the monospaced font that is configured for code editors.

Where on earth is it getting that awful font from?

All my lowercase "L"s look like "1"s and vice versa. Impossible to code.

Please add the basic functionality to use the same font as the code editor here.

Or to configure it separately.

And while you are there, can you make it match the colour scheme for the rest of matlab? Ridiculous that it's completely different colour to everything else -- white background glaring out even when everything else is configured dark theme.

I think you are typing the code in the "text mode". In "code mode", the appear monospaced.

Thanks - Hmm yes you seem to have the right fonts on yours!

But I think I am in code mode, as it is monospaced:

Here's what I see in the live script (nasty font):

What I see in the editor (nice curved L like you have on your screen!):

Which MATLAB release are you using? I ran it on macOS; maybe that affect.
