There is only one font setting for the Code Editor and it affects all editors in the IDE. You can change the color based on the text type (such as comments and statements). Monospace fonts appear in boldface in the Font list, and bold settings are on a per text type basis. For example, you can set Comments and Bookmarks to bold and the other text types are unaffected.

The settings for text color and font type are global for all text element types, such as comments, statements, and so forth.
