I know how to change the font of "Java editor" in Eclipse in menu Windows → Preferences → Appearance → Colors and Fonts, but I could not find an option for changing the font of "layout editor" for files like myLayout.xml or strings.xml.
Where is it?
Go to Preferences > General > Appearance > Colors and Fonts, expand the "Basic" folder and select "Text Font" and change that to whatever size you like. Show activity on this post. Restart Eclipse to apply changes.
If running on Windows, you may give Microsoft Consolas a shot (included in Vista or later, and available as a separate download). I use it everywhere. Show activity on this post. I'm a huge fan of Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, which I use at 9pt.
The default font style eclipse is using is Consolas however Courier New is also a good option to go with.
Eclipse Project/Package explorer, Outline window are using OS default font for labels. For Win 7+ go to Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Personalization click 'Window Color' to start 'Window Color and Appearance' dialog. Increase 'Message Box' font.
Use menu Windows
→ Preferences
→ Appearance
→ Colors and Fonts
→ Basic
→ Text Font
. This is a common text font setting that is applied to XML file editors by default.
I also found this message.
For my Eclipse v4.4 (Luna) installation, the XML editor font size is changed under:
Menu Window → Preferences → General → Appearance → Colors and Fonts → Structured Text Editors → Structured Text Editor Text Font.
