Sometimes we need to change font style for Java code in Eclipse, e.g. increasing font size for more readability. This can be done easily in Eclipse, by going to menu
Window > Preferences… In the
Preferences dialog:
- Select General > Appearance > Colorsand Fonts (1) in the left pane.
- Select Java Editor Text Font (2) in the center.
- Click Edit… button in the right.
Now, in the
Font dialog you can change font name, font style and font size:
Click
OK, the
Preview pane in the
Preferences dialog lets you see the changes before applying it:
When the preview suits your need, click
OK to close the
Preferences dialog, and then the changes take effect immediately. Here’s an example screenshot shows text in a Java code editor has bigger font than usual:
When you want to go back to the default setting, go to the
Preferences dialog again, and click
Reset button for
Java Editor Text Font in
Colors and Fonts setting:
