How to increase font size of Eclipse globally?

How to increase font size of Eclipse globally?

up vote10down votefavorite 7

I'd like to know how to increase the font size for Eclipse so it adjusts the whole GUI to not look so darn small on my screen. For NetBeans there is the --font-size switch which can be set in netbeans.conf, is there something similar for Eclipse? (In case it's useful, I'm on Snow Leopard.) development java shareimprove this question edited Jun 26 '15 at 4:26 akuhn 676158 asked Sep 9 '11 at 17:59 Michael Lange 153114

Inside the Eclipse.app is a setting for the font size. To make the fonts globally larger edit Eclipse.app » Contents » MacOS » eclipse.ini and remove the line -Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.carbon.smallFonts from the file. Save the file and restart Eclipse. shareimprove this answer edited May 19 '12 at 23:29 answered May 19 '12 at 8:13 akuhn 676158

2   This actually helps, nice one! – Henrique Ordine Sep 20 '14 at 10:58 1   Great. This solves also the small size of the interface elements, like the Package Explorer. I was turning blind before... BTW, you know what's fine? I have such line in my eclipse.ini twice, one was commented out and the other not. I wonder why the did that... – Fran Nov 11 '14 at 17:09 1   In Mars it's located in Eclipse.app/Contents/Eclipse/eclipse.ini Also, I found two lines in the .ini file that had this -D definition, so make sure to remove all of them before restart. – andrewz Aug 24 '15 at 13:48  This should be the accepted answer. This is the only way to increase the GUI fonts in Eclipse on OS X that I've found. – toolbear Apr 29 at 19:26 In Neon, the .ini file is also in /Applications/Eclipse.app/Contents/Eclipse/eclipse.ini just like @andrewz commented. Also, there are two lines in the .ini file as well, which you have to remove. – adinoJul 22 at 16:36
