spyder change editor default font/scale/zoom


Is there an option in Spyder to set/change a default script window (editor) scale?

I always have to adjust the script display for each script when I open Spyder with ctrl + mouse wheel and it annoys me a lil bit.

I searched in Spyder preferences and in google, but didn't find anything helpful.


Solution

  • Seems that I didn't inspect Preferences attentively enough initially. Right answer is:

    Preferences → Text and margin font style → Size
    

    EDIT: updating answer according to comments.

    In the latest versions of Spyder IDE path to changing font size is:

    Tools → Preferences → General → Appearance → Fonts
    

    EDIT2 (since march 2021):

    Tools → Preferences → Appearance → Fonts
    

    EDIT3 (since march 2023):

    Python → Preferences → Appearance → Fonts
