Set Preferences for Colors and Fonts

You can specify the colors and fonts that are used for basic items such as hyperlinks, text, and error message text, debug fonts, and the colors and fonts for various components of views and editors.

To view the basic color and font configurations

Select Window, Preferences.
The Preferences dialog opens.
Expand General, Appearance and select Colors and Fonts.
The Preferences dialog opens the Colors and Fonts page.
Expand the Basic or View and Editor Folders.
The default color and font settings for different components in each folder appear. A filled-square indicates a color setting.

To set the font settings

Select a font setting you want to change under Basic or View and Editor Folders.
Click one of the following buttons in the right pane.
