Change Font In Eclipse Editor

Posted on  by 

  1. This video explains How to increase (change) font size in Eclipse IDE.♥️ Subscribe Few Steps: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWQSFlnf4nzdCgSI01wVVOw?subco.
  2. How to change Java Editor Text Font (font size of java code) in eclipse. Step 1: click Windows, Preferences, Step 2: Type colors and fonts. Go to Colors and Fonts(which is under General Appearance) There you can see Java Editor Text Font. Below in Preview section you can see default text size is 10. Double click on Java Editor Text Font.

On the Eclipse toolbar, select Window → Preferences. Drill down to: ( General → Appearance → Colors and Fonts → Basic → Text Font) (at the bottom) Click Edit and select the font, style and size. Click OK in the Font dialog. Click Apply in the Preferences dialog to check it.

The options in the preferences should be self-explanatory, so, they're only briefly detailed here, but if you don't understand one, please ask in the users forum (so that the spelling of the option is improved).

Font

In window > preferences > PyDev > editor, PyDev can edit the tab settings and appearance colors used in PyDev
(such as the code color, decorators, numbers, strings, comments, etc).

It's important to have in mind that many preferences, such as print margin, show line number, background/foreground colors, etc. are inherited from the text-editor preferences at general > editors > text editors, and some other preferences are at general > appearance > colors and fonts – there's a link for both at the end of the preferences page.

In code completion preferences, configure how you want the code-completion to work.

Code-folding: new editors will have it applied.

Code-style: Choose how you want the assign to variable quick assist assign to work (Ctrl+1): with camel case variables or variables separated with underline (an example is shown when you change it).

Block comments are comments formatted in a special way. An example of applying the block comment is shown (2 types of block comments are available: a multi-line and a single line comment).

In the code-formatter preferences page, you can choose different ways of having your code formatted.

With Ctrl+1 when over a function line, you can create the docstring automatically (and these preferences are used to determine what's the result of doing so)

The file types indicate which file extensions are recognized for the type inference engine (it's not an association to the file editor)

Ctrl+Shift+O can organize the available imports (when no selection is done – if done over a selection it'll do a regular text sort over the selected text), and those preferences indicate how the available imports should be organized.

What to show on the mouse hover?

Here you can enter new templates. There are 2 contexts, the 'Editor' and the 'New Module'. The templates in the 'Editor' context are available for code-completion and the ones with 'New Module' are available for the creation
of new modules.

The typing preferences indicate what should be automatically entered when you're typing text (e.g.: automatic parenthesis, smart indent, etc).

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).

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

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

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