Question

How can the font size be changed in Notepad++?

I just downloaded and installed Notepad++ v5.4.5 (I have been using UltraEdit for the last 11.5 years) and can not find a menu command for changing the screen font. I want to change it to Lucida Console 18pt.

Other notes: to download Notepad++ go directly to the SourceForce download page for Notepad++.

Answer 1

Ctrl and +/- or mouse wheel to zoom in/out

Edit: Or to achieve exactly what you asked for...

Settings > Style Configurator. Under Font Style you can set the font and size

Answer 2

Open menu Settings/Style Configurator. Then with the default theme "Default (styles.xml)" and default language "Global Styles", change the font name and font size for style "Default Style" (the default, style "Global override" will not cut it).

If a document is already open then the display will change immediately as the font name and font size is changed - nice touch! Press the "Save & Close" button to keep the new settings.

Answer 3

Fonts and styles can be changed in the Style Configurator.

• Settings
• Style Configurator

Answer 4

Answer 5

Ctrl + F12 will give you all authorities to change the appearance, background, foreground, fonts etc. !

Answer 6

With 5.9.4 I have found that the global override does cut it, as zooming seems to influence global and language-specific font settings differently so that whitespace has different sizes (Tabs don't line up with different zoom levels). The font size did not seem to change either..
