How to change the font of the dropdown list of an OptionButton?

Question

Hi. Changing the font of an OptionButton only affects the selected item. I'd like to also set the same font to the dropdown list. How do I do it?

Thanks in advance.

The only way I know to do this, is by creating a new theme that uses the font.
But for some reason the item button disappears from the toolbar when doing this.

So I think you would have to edit your items from script, maybe there is an other way but I have no idea how to work with themes.

What I do to avoid this is creating the theme in the ready() function only when my app is running.

func _ready():
    $OptionButton.theme = Theme.new()
    $OptionButton.theme.default_font = DynamicFont.new()
    $OptionButton.theme.default_font.font_data = load("res://your_font_file")

That way you can still easily edit your items from the editor.

You are right, I had to create a theme for the font to work, but in my case doing it through the editor worked.
Now I have to make the style of the button work on the dropdown list...

Thanks for your time.

Where you able to change the theme/font for the dropdown? I have been struggling with this for hours, no luck.

Creating a theme for the OptionButton and assigning a font to that theme worked for me.
