In SQL Server Management Studio Object Explorer - How to increase Font Size?
From the tool --> Options --> Fonts & Colors we can change fonts for many windows. There is a drop down 'Show Settings For' where we can changes font for text in many area's but I'm not sure how to change the font for the Object Explorer. I thought it would be the tools window drop down selection but that didn't effect the Object Explorer. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
You can't change the font of the Object Explorer on it's own but you can change it.
Go to "Tools/Options/Fonts and Colors"
Under the "Show settings for:" dropdown choose "Environment font"
Set the font/fontsize to whatever you want (I use 12 pt Segoe UI)
Click "OK"
Restart SSMS
Using SSMS 2016, it will set use the font and size settings under "Environment Font" in object explorer (and in all menus etc) on restart of SSMS. Screen shot showing setting panel and result
Sometimes I like larger fonts, they help me see clearly and avoid mistakes when reading all the tons of text and data.
My alternatives for not being able to change the font in Object Explorer:
Windows 7 has a Magnifier.
Add a Filter when finding a specific table among the many tables in a database. Right click on Tables --> Filter.
In SSMS-17, Once you have navigated to Tools->Options->Environment->Fonts and Colors, Select Environment Font from the Show settings for. Then the Font will need to be set to a different Font before the Size of the text can be changed. The Automatic default Font setting prevents the Size from being changed.

This is a known issue, and will not be fixed at this time.

change grid result font

Set the font/fontsize to whatever you want (I use 12 pt Segoe UI)
Click "OK"
I had a similar issue where the sql connection box was really tiny. I tried using all the different font sizes for environment but nothing would fix the connection box size. What did fix it was a computer restart. All fonts went back to normal.
To increase the output of the print or select function, go to Options > Fonts and colors > Show settings for:, select Grid Results and change the field Size to a default of 7.

I have just upgraded to SSMS 2018 and have noticed that the results text seems much smaller and is hard to read from further away.
I have tried changing the font size however it only changed the font size of the query pane.
Maybe I am missing something here?
From the SSMS Tools menu, choose Options.
Then in the search box type 'FON', choose 'Font and Colors' and from the drop down list labeled 'Show settings for : ' choose 'Grid Results'.
Enlarge the font size. Restart SSMS and your view will be much better.
Another method is to click anywhere on the query or results window. Then hold down the "CTRL" and scroll your mouse button up or down. This changes the size of the text.
I'm using SSMS 2017 and want to make my font larger in the query window.
When I go to Tools > Options > Environment > Fonts and Colors > and then change the size of my font and press Ok, nothing changes. The size doesn't get affected in the open query window nor in a new query window.
This is working solution tested on ssms v18.4.
In OP's case I think you did not restart your ssms.
Also, as in arrow 4 you will need to know what settings you want to change in order for it to work as expect.
It should be very much the same for your ssms version.
Done.
Your issue may be related to an early release. I am using SSMS 17.4 and following your patch causes the query window font to change as soon as click 'ok' the changes persist in a new query window and when I close and re-open SSMS.
I'm also using SSMS 2017 and also needed to increase the font size. To change the font size in your query window, make sure 'Text Editor' is chosen in the drop-down for 'Show settings for:' when you select Environment>Fonts and Colors. That will affect your query window font size once you select 'OK'.
I'm not sure why the drop-down '[All Text Tool Windows]' doesn't affect the font size but I found that as well.
If you requested regarding font in window, which will be opened when you select New Query from database object (e.g. AutoLot), You can change size in Environment/Fonts and Colors/Text Editor
If you don't have a mouse wheel, use the Ctrl key and two fingers on the touchpad: a pinching motion to enlarge/reduce the font in the Query Tab.
You must go to Environment font select a new font and size
I'm a beginner programmer using visual basic on visual studio working mostly with Consoles, and I would like to change the font size of the text that the compiler outputs displays when the code is compiled (not the text when I'm coding, those are fine). Here's what it looks like, compare it to the exit, minimise buttons and the file directory on the title bar for size references
Right now, the font size is like 8pt which is annoying.
Open the options window and go to the Fonts and Colors item. Select the window you'd like to change and then change the font-size to your liking:
You'll likely need to change multiple items, since each window uses its own settings:
Output Window
Command Window
Immediate Window
And possibly others.
To change the font size of the console that launches when you debug an application, you need to change the default font size for the windows console.
Start a command-prompt and then open the options screen
Set the font size:
This will apply to all consoles that open in the future.
None of the solutions suggested by jessehouwing worked for me (using Visual Studio 2017).
What did work was running a console program to open the console, clicking the small icon on the left in the title bar of the console window, clicking properties, fonts, and chosing the preferred font size.
After running and seeing the console windows,
In VSC 2019 go to File -> Preferences -> Settings -> Features -> Terminal and find option of font-size and change to apropriate value for your needs.Question isnt really clear what you exactly need but for all settings of font-size-s is pretty the same path to the solution.
Right now I am using the Darcula theme. I want to change the default font to something else. I go into Editor > Colors & Fonts > Font but all the options are greyed out. For Editor Font it shows Show only monospaced fonts as checked with Primary font as Monospaced, but neither of these can be changed. I tried changing the font under Appearance but that just changes the font used around AS and not inside the editor.
All you have to do is click the "Save As" button to create a new profile. You can't change the font because you can't overwrite the default profile
Android Studio The defaultEditor(Editor)TheScheme(Scheme)Is the font cannot be modified,you canSave as,
Save as a new scheme (Scheme),and then change the font size;
Location: File->Settings->Editor->Fonts -> Font & (for Mac : Android Studio -> Preferences)
We can change the font size according to CTRL + mouse wheel which is really easy to use it !!!
To use this feature select File -> Settings -> Editor -> General -> select the checkbox of Change the font size (Zoom) with Ctrl + Mouse Wheel
I hope it's helpful.
After Spending a good quality of time on this issue i finally fixed it...
In Latest Android Studio 3.2 version

I was able to increase the font, using the follow strategy.
If creating a custom setting doesn't help:
Click on File -> Settings ->Editor and check the field: "Change font-size with CRTL + Mouse Wheel"
Worked for me.
We have to be more careful when doing this. For the first time I have changed the font size of menu by mistake instead of font. First create your own scheme by going to File-->Settings-->Colors & Fonts and then you can make changes to your own scheme. The final procedure is to go to settings(File-->Settings) and then select Editor and Colors & Fontsin the left bar menu. Then select the arrow on the left side of Colors & Fonts and then select Font in the left menu bar. You will get options to change your values. Remember you can only change values to your own sheme.
Android Studio 3.3
Preferences>Editor>Color Scheme Font Select the cog next to the Scheme:and choose Duplicate. On the same screen, choose your desired font and select Apply to preview or OK to store and exit preferences.
For Android Studio 3.4.1 Go to File -> Settings -> Collapse Editor -> Font -> Select the required font -> Click OK.
Done.
I just bought a new monitor that's rather large and I am having a lot of trouble reading the text on my editor. I tried increasing the font size the usual way by going to
Tools >> Options >> Fonts & Colors >> Clicking the "..." button next to font >> and then choosing a large font size
This is the result: (click for full size)
As you can see the cursor becomes a lot larger but the font size remains the same. Does anyone know another way to effectively increase font size in NetBeans?
you might also want to change your font size for other parts of the IDE (other than the code).
Just add the parameter --fontsize <size> (default size is 11) to the startup command.
You can put it into the command line when launching IDE. You can also put it into the netbeans.conf file, which is in the /etc subdirectory of NetBeans installation.
Just place it as a last parameter into the netbeans_default_options parameter.
To increase the font size of netbeans 7.3.1 and 7.3 , you go from menu
Tools>>Options>>"Fonts & Colors" (is an inner menu in the dialog window of Options)
At the "Syntax" tab ,every entry in the "Category:" list-box ,you will notice that the font has the value "Inherited".
If you find in the "Category" list-box the entry with the name "Default" and change the font value of that, you will affect the font size of your editor, because everything is inherited from "Default" entry .
Another method is to increase temporary the font of the editor by a combination of keys.
To find what are the keys go to the "Options" dialog window by
Tools>> Options
and then choose the "Keymap" menu entry
and then in the "Search" textbox type "zoom text" and it will show you what combinations of keys for zooming in /out.
for example mine is the combination of "alt" key + mouse wheel up/down
1st Way:
press down Alt+z and scroll up or down (mouse wheel)
2nd way:
press down mouse scroll(wheel) button and scroll up or down
At Windows in the file C:\Program Files\NetBeans x.x\etc\netbeans.conf
Add "--fontsize [size]" at the end of line netbeans_default_options:
netbeans_default_options=".... --fontsize 16"
Check this image with red arrow direction
Tools >> Options >> Fonts & Colors >> Syntax tab. Select 'Default' from the Category list and click the ... button like you said.
It's the Default you need to select first before changing the size.
In OS X, Netbeans 8.0
Use Command + , to open the options
Select Fonts & Colors tab
Click the button in the Font section (button is next to the Font textbox)
Change the Font, style and size as needed
The solutions here just increase editor font size. You can run netbeans with parameter netbeans --fontsize 20 You can edit windows link like this for example. "C:\Program Files\NetBeans 8.0.2\bin\netbeans64.exe" --fontsize 20
Alt + scroll wheel will increase / decrease the font size of the main code window
press alt and scroll down or up to change the size
I would upgrade to newer Netbeans 7.1 or wait few days/weeks for 7.2, it can be a bug in Netbeans 6.8.
I just add to previous two solutions, that you can increase size temporary with ALT(CTRL) + mouse wheel as in browser. (ALT in Netbeans 7.2, CTRL in Netbeans 7.1)
Tools -> Options -> Fonts & Colors -> then click on Font browse option. Now you will see a popup box. Here you can change Font:, Font Style: and Size:
I had tested it.
Go to Tools|options|keymap.
Search for 'zoom in text' and set your preferred key.
I've set alt+plus and alt+minus.
When i modify the font size in Tools-> Options->Fonts & Colors->Syntaxto 14, the Editor font change fine, but Netbeans doesn´t take any change in fontsize IDE (icons, menus, ...) until i Add the --fontsize XX option in the file ...\NetBeans x.x\etc\netbeans.conf at the end of line netbeans_default_options AND set to true the already added option -J-Dsun.java2d.dpiaware, But i had to increase the font size Editor to 24. Thats works for me.
You can create your own shortcut for increase/Decrease Netbeans Fonts size
just goto Tools > Options > Keymaps than search zoom
click on three (...) dot and click Edit
press your_shortcut_keys ( what ever shortcut you want to set)
For full control of ANY (non simplest editor, non head of tree) ui elements I recomend use plugin UI Editor for NetBeans
To set fonts and colors for displaying help pages:
1.From the main window, choose File > Open File.
2.In the Open dialog box, navigate to IDE-install-directoryide/docs/org/netbeans/modules/usersguide and open the file ide.css.
The ide.css file is the style sheet that describes how to present the fonts and colors in the help pages.
3.Edit ide.css to your preferences.
4.Choose File > Save.
5.Open the help viewer and verify your changes.
Literally NONE of these worked for me.
I am using NetBeans 11.1 on Linux. I found the solution by searching the Options menu. The issue was the IDE Theme- which has an "Override" font size.
Tools > Options > Appearance > Darcula Look And Feel
Uncheck "Override Default fonts by [ Dialog 10 ]"
(OR increase the override font to a bigger size)
Hit OK
Exit and restart NetBeans!
Your environment preferences should be saved for future NetBeans sessions!
