How to change font size in Eclipse for Java text editors?

Detailing the Procedure

Checking Project-level Preferences

Some projects might have individual settings. Verify that these preferences are not overriding your global settings. If you're lost, remember: every hero has to check their gear before the adventure!

Version-related Dependencies

Different Eclipse versions might have varied steps for changing the font size. Make sure to refer to the edition-specific Eclipse shorts in the documentation. Yep, even in the Eclipse universe, the Version Saga continues!

Zoom in-out Key Bindings

Eclipse enables using Ctrl + and Ctrl - for zooming in and out, respectively. Much like the + and - on your TV remote. Just don't screenshot your code for Instagram, okay?

Across the border: Global Font Changes

Font Size for all Editors

To change the font size across all text editors in Eclipse, change the Text Font under Basic. Yes, Global Domination is indeed real, at least when it comes to Eclipse Font Sizes!

Apply to see Magic

Make sure to Apply your changes to see the effect. It’s like saying, "Abracadabra!" in the magic show called Your Coding Life! Remember Magento's mantra: apply and save?

Being Cautious

Sort out the Conflicts

Shortcuts are great, but confirm these keys are not assigned to any other commands. It’s your keyboard. You don't want a Ctrl + triggering a self-destruct sequence!

Gauge the Impact

Remember, changes in Java Editor Text Font will be seen across all Java source files, while Text Font changes will apply to all editors. It's like throwing a stone into a lake, the ripples do tend to spread...

Visualising the Process

Think of adjusting the font size as the simple push-pull of a sliding scale:

Zoomed-in Font (🔠🔠🔠)  // Because sharing is caring!

Zoomed-out Font (🔡)  //The lonely, small fry!

See? It's just like sliding through a carousel of pixels!
