Can the size of the font used in the Java source code editor be changed?
If yes, how?

Thanks

Charlie

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

Jacek

Hi Lorenzo,

What happens when you change Preferences as described below:
Window > Preferences > General > Appearance > Colors and Fonts > Java >
Java Editor Text Font
