Can the fonts for just the search and replace boxes be changed?

I find it very difficult to distinguish between “, ", and ” in the find and replace boxes.

You can set the UserInterface font in Sigil Prefs. There are separate settings for CodeView fonts and Preview default fonts that can be set in Preferences as well. Nothing separate for just Find and Replace.

That said, you may be able to do that with Qt's qss files. Perhaps someone knows if that is possible and how.

QSS is really great idea (and usually the simplest).
Just create/edit a qt_styles.qss file in the Sigil configuration folder and enter there:
Code:
#cbFind, #cbReplace {font-family: "Georgia"; font-size: 16px;}
Of course, adapt the font family and size to your own needs.

This works just beautifully, thank you! Very helpful.
