I just downloaded eclipse but it shows broken language so. how can I fix this problem?
This is caused by the font settings in Windows. It is described in this Eclipse bug report (closed as not an Eclipse bug).
You should be able to fix it in Eclipse by changing the "Part Title" font - Window > Preferences > General > Appearance > Colors and Fonts, in the "View and Editor Folders" section change the "Part title font" to something that displays correctly.

I need to change DVT eclipse menu size. also in properties view and Project Explorer.
High DPI make them larger than the code font size.
Although this soultion did work it was complicated and change only the Project Explorer (without Menu and Project)
DVT Version - dvt_eclipse_20.1.37-e46
As mentioned in DVT "Themes" documentation page.
To change the fonts, please go to Window > Preferences > DVT > Themes.
You will find there the option to change both the Editor Font and the UI Font (the second one is what you are looking for)
Please read before marking as duplicate, I have searched for an answer to my specific issue for a long time and have not found one.
My Eclipse (Luna 4.4.1) IDE refuses to change the background color for the text editor. Please see the screenshot. It seems to be black when the IDE starts, then after a few seconds it switches to white.
I have tried (with restarts of the program between changes):
Eclipse > Preferences > General > Appearance (Set to Dark or Moonrise)
Eclipse >
Preferences > General > Appearance > Color Theme (Tried many dark themes)
Eclipse > Preferences > General > Editors > Text Editors > (Background Color => Black)
I'm using the PyDev Pluggin, but I've also tried switching to Java and other perspectives and have the same problem. I've tried installing the Moonrise theme, and uninstalling and reinstalling the same as well as the Eclipse Color Theme plugin as well.
Has anyone seen this before and figured out a solution?
Updated:
If I change the IDE to the Java perspective and open a Java file I still have the annoying white background, but in a slightly different way:
I have uninstalled the moonrise theme and I am just using the Dark Theme here. I think this rules out Pydev influencing the colours and it must be something at the general editor level. Though again, I have set the background color to black for the general editor.
MAJOR UPDATE - The bug is somewhat reproducible
Ok, so I haven't solved the problem but I've figured out what's triggering it! When I open Window > Customize Perspective, the background switches to the correct black style and then stays that way until I restart the IDE. That's without me changing any settings, just the mere act of opening that dialog. But why?
I guess my answer to the this post How to change color of Editor in Eclipse works for you.
I think its because of Editbox plugin. Make EditBox Off then check. If not working uninstall EditBox then check.
Its because of conflicts between Editbox colour settings and eclipse theme settings.
From patchnotes, pydev seems to support the eclipse darktheme since 3.6.0 :
http://pydev.org/history_pydev.html
The PyDev editor supports the new dark theme in Eclipse 4.4 (so, when it's chosen the editor colors are properly updated).
I believe the pydev editor has his preferences, so if you want to edit colors for the editor, it might be under :
Window > preferences > PyDev > Editor
You can find some resources to customize the pydev editor (if still not answerint to eclipse dark theme) here : http://pydev.blogspot.fr/2009/07/creating-dark-theme-and-exporting-and.html
You can try disabling pydev editor through file type extension but not sure it will be a nice syntax coloring (window>preferences>pydev>editor>code style>filetypes)
I had to do a presentation yesterday, and as part of the presentation, I used Eclipse to show some code. Many of my coworkers in the room could not read the text and asked me to increase the size of the text for ALL files, not just Java files or XML files.
But it wasn't immediately obvious from the available options how to do this. I went to menu Window → Preferences and typed font in the search input. This filtered the options to General → Appearance → Colors and Fonts. From here, I could see an option to change the font in Java files, but I didn't know how to change the font globally.
I'm using Eclipse v4.3 Service Release 1 (Kepler) on Windows.
This is similar to Stack Overflow question How can I change font size in Eclipse for Java text editors?.
This is what we figured out, and this is also found in this answer and also this answer (I'll quote):
Go to Preferences → General → Appearance → Colors and Fonts, expand the "Basic" folder and select "Text Font" and change that to whatever size you like.
Pretty simple!
The answer by #Jake works fine on the editor. To also change the font size of the global Eclipse GUI, I have added the follows:
*{font-size:8;}
in the file:
ECLIPSE_HOME/plugins/org.eclipse.ui.themes_*/css/e4_default_gtk.css
worked for me. This is explained here: How to change eclipse font sizes
Go to Preferences → General → Appearance → Colors and Fonts, expand the "Basic" folder and select "Text Font" and change that to whatever size you like.
this video help you
Eclipse provides a handy shortcut to shortcut for what is well explained in Jake Toronto answer (only by 2 points increments/decrements though).
On MacOS:
Increase by 2 points: command + "+"
Decrease by 2 points: command + "-"
On Windows/Fedora:
Increase by 2 points: CTRL + "+"
Decrease by 2 points: CTRL + "-"
The answer by #George worked fine, but if it doesn't work on the file he referred to, then you might try applying the same modification on another file from the same folder: e4_basestyle.css.
For me it worked this way (my version of the Eclipse SDK is 4.2.2).
For XML or HTML Files, you can select the "Structured Text Editors" option instead of "Basic" in the path given by Jake Toronto's answer.
Just for reference, if anyone change font settings from Preferences → General → Appearance → *Colors and Fonts**, but it wouldn't work...
In my case, it caused by the Eclipse color theme. Just uninstall it.
Open Eclipse Preferences
In left menu select "General>Appearance>Colors and Fonts"
In the resulting window under the Java node select "Java Editor Text Font"
Notice button "Edit Defalt..." is now enabled, click it
Choose your preferred font settings and click OK
Now you will notice that all editor fonts have changed to your selected default (if they were set to the default to begin with). Also you can now change any editor back to this setting by selecting the editor font setting and clicking "Go to Default"
How can I change the Eclipse GUI font size?
For instance, I would like to make the font for "Project Explorer" or "Members" smaller.
Reiterating #Vitor De Mario answer with few more screenshots.
I use Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java Developers Version: 2020-09 (4.17.0) on MacOS Catalina. The font size of Eclipse package explorer was very small and hard to read.
You can change it through eclipse preferences (shortcut: Command key + ,)
It looks a lot better now.
I don't know if you can change the font for one specific section. However, you can do it for Eclipse as a whole, in Preferences → General → Appearance → Colors and Fonts → View and Editor Folders, on Part title font and View message font.
Eclipse Project/Package explorer, Outline window are using OS default font for labels.
For Win 7+ go to Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Personalization click 'Window Color' to start 'Window Color and Appearance' dialog.
Decrease 'Message Box' font.
Eclipse restart required
In newer versions of Eclipse this becomes configurable (Tree and Table font for views)
Most of the controls in Eclipse (such as tree views) use native OS widgets. For these, the font face or size cannot be adjusted in Eclipse. You have to adjust it at OS level.
I am working with Twist as part of developing automatic tests, and I would want to change (decrease size) of the font in the twist scenario editor. I could not find any option in the "Twist" section in the Preferences menu, and the other settings are related to the eclipse editor (e.g. for .java files)

Vlad
Vlad,
Go to Window > Preferences > filter using "font" > click on Colors and Fonts > Look in the basic folder for Text Font > edit
