How change font size?

Hope this is a simple one. How can I change the display font in the Matlab windows? I have limited vision and can't read them very well.

I hope you will file this as a bug report with TMW. They really should think about the accessibility of there software.

You can read about how to set preferences here:

I hope there web site is accessible.

If the default font isn't too small, you can set the preferences with File>Preferences and then select fonts in the dialog.

There might be a command line way of doing it, but I do not know it.

You can also probably edit the preference file manually. My preference file (Linux) is matlab.prf.

The default 10 point font is: Desktop.Font.Code=F0 13 Monospaced

A 24 point font is: Desktop.Font.Code=F0 32 Monospaced

A 48 point font is: Desktop.Font.Code=F0 64 Monospaced

48 point is the largest you can select from the dialog.
