How do I change code font size in Jupyter nb?

Google says to use “gear icon” in top right corner, but there is no such button when running Coursera Lab notebooks…

How about ctrl + mouse gear?

That’s zoom for entire browser, which changes everything (e.g. plots or menus). I was wondering if there is just code font setting…

welcome to the community.

Are you using jupyter lab?

I so, you can do that clicking on settings:

If you are using google colab, after clicking on the gear icon click on editor option:

I have the same issue but I don’t have a Settings menu. Is there a way to increase the font size for everything in Jupyter?

Hi @ct01 ,

Try this:

  1. Quick Browser Zoom (Works Everywhere)

The fastest way to increase the overall size (text, menus, and UI) is using your browser’s zoom shortcuts:

  • Windows/Linux: Press Ctrl + + to zoom in.
  • macOS: Press Cmd + + to zoom in.
  • Mouse: Hold Ctrl and scroll the mouse wheel up.
