Learn how to Change the Font Size of Text Editor and output window in Eclipse IDE 2020-09.Install Eclipse 2020-09 on Windows 10https://youtu.be/Jmc5TP8i6KU#. On the Eclipse toolbar, select Window → Preferences. Drill down to: ( General → Appearance → Colors and Fonts → Basic → Text Font) (at the bottom) Click Edit and select the font, style and size. Click OK in the Font dialog. Click Apply in the Preferences dialog to check it. Obviously, changing it in Eclipse preferences doesn't do it. The common answers about using 'Appearance-Fonts' doesn't work, because there is no 'Fonts' tab. I believe I saw one person say that the 'Fonts' tab isn't supposed to be there anymore. The next suggestion is to install MyUnity and change the font settings there.

is there a way to change all the fonts? In particular I'd like them to
be smaller (e.g., in linux fonts are much bigger than in windows).

Hi!
most of the fonts used in eclipse user interface are taken from OS. In
linux this means, you can change all fonts by modifying gtk
configuration. Search the internet for .gtkrc, it's quite often topic.

I'm using kde and not gnome, and I don't have such a file...
so it's not possible to change the overall font size from eclipse?

Eclipse is compiled with gtk, so it requires gtk libs to run. That
doesn't mean you should switch to gnome :)
Essentially work that you have to do is to find, where the .gtkrc file
should be located and what should be inside.
Have a look at here, for similar problem, but with buttons:
http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-16083.html
And here an example gtkrc file:

let me know if you have any further questions
