I painted myself into a corer - I did commented out a file line text and now it is very hard to see it
to get it back.

I know how and where to change fonts, but I do not know WHAT font to change.

When the line is commented out it is "grayed" and hard to see .

It is file editing when the line is commented out.

This isn't a font-related issue; within the Eclipse UI it's usually referred to as "syntax coloring", and often the editor has either a preference page
explicitly to let you control that (with "syntax coloring" in the name of the page), or a theming engine controllable from the editor's own context
menu.

It sounds like you're trying to adjust the color of your commented out lines in Eclipse, not the font. This can be done through 'syntax coloring'. Here's how:

1. Go to Window -> Preferences
2. Expand the 'Java' option and click on 'Editor'
3. Under 'Editor', you'll find 'Syntax Coloring'
4. Expand 'Java' under 'Syntax Coloring', and you'll see a 'Comments' section
5. Click on 'Single-line comments' or 'Multi-line comments', and adjust the color to your liking.

Hope this helps you out!

I suspect from the picture that it's not Java that's involved. Probably Python based on previous posts. In any case, similar instructions will apply for the editor actually being used...

Thanks - however, found it here
The correct way is to do "search" ( I guess coders never heard of "tooltips" ) but still need to have an idea what to search for ....
