How to modify the font of PhpStorm findbox (find text field)? Fonts are windows default simsun! No change options in settings.
Update: this feature is available starting from IntelliJ IDEA 2018.3.1. To make the search/replace fields use the editor font you can add -Dide.find.use.editor.font=true in Help | Edit Custom VM Options and restart the IDE.
Original answer:
At the moment the font used in the text field is hardcoded and you can't change it, please vote for this request and follow it for updates:
IDEA-106651 Editor Search/Replace: use editor font for text input fields

Unable to read the language. How to set it to english ?
The issue is not with the language, but with some broken font mapping on your system. The workaround is to change IDE font. Press Ctrl+Alt+S to access the Settings dialog, open the second entry from the top and set some font here:
Had same issue with IntelliJ Community Edition, version 2019 2.
Initially the only way I could get the "normal" IntelliJ charset mapping to persist after closing and reopening is go to Settings > Appearance & Behaviours > Appearance and then to UNCHECK Use Custom Font and allow the built-in defaults to be applied.
Later I discovered that I could use all custom fonts except my favorite, Open Sans.
Somehow selecting and applying this font only worked for the remainder of the IntelliJ session. If IntelliJ was closed and reopened, the character mapping was altered in both the Settings page and in the IDE. Each character was represented by the next character alphabetically, e.g. Open Sans ==> Pqdo Tbot
Notice that the first letter of the menus (which has a separate formatting as it's underlined) remains the same while the remainder of the menu title is ampped to the next letter in the alphabet.
The question thus arises: why is Open Sans showing this change of character mapping while other fonts do not ?
Sometimes I feal lost while coding on sublime text editor as it doesn't highlight the left bar as others ides/text editors do
what I am talking about is the light violet color on line numbers as in eclipse.
But in Sublime text Editor its simply an small dash beneath curly braces.
Is there any way I can get this in sublime text editor ?
Add this to your user, preferences file:
"highlight_line": true
You can find a great many helpful visual aids by looking in the default preferences file and the copying any over to your user file. Don't change settings in the default file though. Always add them to the user file.
I have the following situation:
I started to use Intellij Idea as the main ide and I am also using Darcula theme. I like everything about it except the annoying small font and annoying line spacing. However, when I try to change those values like with any other theme, I am not able to do that, because both font size and line spacing fields are disabled.
Do you know how to modify Intellij idea's darcula theme default font size?
Save current theme as Your theme, then you will be able to change font size and other options in code editor.
Also if you want change GUI's fonts mark checkbox "Override default font by" in Appearance section.
I can't seem to find a way to change the code font size in WebStorm. I change the font size in options and it changes the menu and toolbar font size but not the actual code. Any ideas?
Settings (Preferences on Mac) | Editor | Colors & Fonts | Font, Size:
Before you can change this setting you must click "Save As..." and save the scheme under a custom name.
If you came here because you already found that screen, but the text box was locked...
This is because you cannot modify the current theme.
Click "Save As..." to save a copy of your current theme, now you should be able to edit whatever you want.
There is also an option to enable mouse wheel zooming, like in browsers:
File > Settings > Editor > Change font size with Ctrl+Mouse Wheel.
If you are a new WebStorm 10.0.4 user,
File > Settings > Editor > General > Change font size with Ctrl+Mouse Wheel.
The answer that discusses how to dynamically change the font size via the mouse wheel is partially correct, but leaves out a crucial step:
File
Settings
Editor
General (this is the crucial step missing from the previous answer)
Set the "Change font size (Zoom) with Ctrl+M
The previous answer was missing the crucial step 4, which, when omitted, leaves you wondering where the magic checkbox control is located.
I really like Intellij's line wrapping feature with icons marking line wraps. Hovewer the default wrapping icon's readability is far from ideal.. is there any way I could fix this little problem?
Current solution is to use standard unicode symbols from supplementary arrows set: 2925 and 2926.
You can modify that by specifying other unicode (hex) codes via idea.editor.wrap.soft.before.code and idea.editor.wrap.soft.after.code properties in idea.properties file. Note that it's necessary to define both symbols, e.g. add to the idea.properties something like below:
idea.editor.wrap.soft.before.code=2906
idea.editor.wrap.soft.after.code=2907
Note that not all the fonts contain all the Unicode characters, so you have to choose the proper font in Settings | Editor | Colors & Fonts and specify the symbol code that exists in the font that you are using.
To clarify what CrazyCoder said:
On a Mac, you'll need to go into finder and "show package contents" on the Intellij IDEA.app, then you can add lines to the idea.properties file in the "bin" folder. Here's the arrow codes I went with:
idea.editor.wrap.soft.before.code=219e
idea.editor.wrap.soft.after.code=21a0
Don't forget, you can also change their color in the program's preferences under "editor > colors and fonts > general > soft wrap sign".
