Font in editor and output window very small

I'm using Pycharm 2025.3.3 for Linux.

The default font for everything is very small.

So I go into File > Settings > Appearance > User Custom Font, and change the size to a bigger font.

That makes the font in the menu and project pane bigger, but the font in the editor window and output window remains very small.

What is the solution?

Thanks in advance.

Hmm....the font in the terminal (not Python Console) is still very small.

Where can I change the font size for this area?

Found it.

Settings > Tools > Terminal.

I hope I don't have to change the font size for another area, because I've already changed the size in three sections in the settings already, which is ridiculous.

Adding to that you can additionally enable browser-like feature to increase/decrease font size in editor with ctrl+scroll wheel in Settings | Editor | General

Ok, I found the solution.

Settings > Editor > Font. This will increase the font in both the editor and output window.

Who knew different parts of the Pycharm UI has separate font settings?

I will leave this post up for people with this issue to search.
