Set the font size in pycharm's python console or terminal

Question

There are terminal and python console in pycharm, which are very convenient. But I found that the font size was too small to recognize in terminal or python console. How can change the font size in the terminal or python console?

Solution 1

In PyCharm 2016.3, the console font setting is squirrelled away under Settings > Editor > Colors & Fonts > Console Font:

Note: Changes to the colors and font are not visible immediately, you have to restart the terminal session to apply them. It's not enough to just hide and reopen the terminal. Just click the red cross button on the terminal's toolbar (Close Terminal Session) and reopen it. The same is valid also for the Python Console.

Solution 2

The location of console font changed in the latest versions of Pycharm.
Settings -> Editor -> Color Scheme -> Console Font

You should ask this question in PyCharm forum not in SO.

Have you tried to search manual? I was able to find answer in official manual in 15 seconds.

It's not the font in editor.

I tried that. But this operation didn't change the font size in console. I also can change the font size of the tool bar. But they aren't the thing I expect.

Sorry, maybe I ask the question in wrong place. Thanks for pointing out.

Alot of people seem to think the answer is obvious. I agree with the OP that it is not. The most commonly referred link here does not say anything about the terminal. If anyone is wondering about this, I found that when I reset the console font, the terminal did not change. But then I closed and re-opened pycharm, and the terminal then had the font I wanted.

I can do that. But I said that I wanted to change the font in pycharm's console.

Here added some more explanation, i hope this is what you were looking for, to change the font of the console that comes with pycharm.

Note that in the more recent version Colors&Fonts was renamed to "Color Scheme"

but this doesn't affect the terminal font. Anything else to be done for that.

[David Ferenczy Rogožan]

It affects the font in the terminal. And you don't need to restart Pycharm to apply the changes. Just close the already opened terminal (not just hide using the button in the top right corner of the terminal but using the red X button Close session on the left side) and reopen it and new settings will be applied to it.

@imsrgadich Just reopen the terminal session as I described in the previous comment.

[Mr. Unnormalized Posterior]

@DawidFerenczy yes realised that. Thank you.

My Google search of "pycharm console font size" did not have your reference on its first page - not so simple huh?
