How do I adjust font size in VS Code markdown preview?

Question

The entirety of my Visual Studio Code settings.json file is:

{
    "notebook.markup.fontSize": 48,
}

I can create a markdown file eg file.md and preview it in VS Code by pressing the following key combination:

Ctrl+K V

This markdown preview font is too small for my taste. Adjusting it like this article recommends does nothing. I don't have any extensions installed. To demonstrate how I adjust the setting I could use either of these two settings.json files and the markdown preview font size remains constant.

settings.json file #1

{
    "notebook.markup.fontSize": 12,
}

settings.json file #2

{
    "notebook.markup.fontSize": 48,
}

Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?

Answer 1

You should probably be using the setting:

Markdown > Preview: Font Size

It doesn't sound like you are in a Notebook since you are using that command to preview it.
