spyder change editor default font/scale/zoom

Question

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

Solution 1

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

Solution 2

Right clicking in the text window there are menus Zoom in, Zoom out and Zoom reset

Right not it's in Tools → Preferences → General → Appearance

Oddly, it doesn't always affect the console and editor windows the same.

hi, there's no problem in adjusting script display using ctrl + mouse wheel, hotkeys or by right mouse click menu. The initial question was how to change default font size for not to change size on every launch, so your answer doesn't really answer it.

+1 They removed one step, so you no longer have to click on General to get to Appearance. Appearance is on the main preferences page. Tools → Preferences → Appearance → Fonts
