Change font for ORACLE SQL but the display words are still small - oracle-sqldeveloper

I have tried Tool-> preference -> search "font" and make it bigger as this picture shown.
However, even I restart my ORACLE SQL, my font is till super small.
ps: I use windows10 and the version for ORACLE SQL Developer is 20.2
Anyone know how can I fix it?

I also faced a similar issue when installed this on Windows 10. The issue has to do with compatibility settings. I have fixed it following the steps given below:
Get shortcut of sqldeveloper at your desktop
Ensure that you have admin rights in your PC
Right Click on sqldeveloper icon and select Properties. Go to the Compatibility tab:
Compatibility mode change it to windows 7
Check the option of Override high DPI scaling behaviour
Select "System" in drop down below
Apply
Re-Launch the application

I have tried all the answers provided, but changing to system(enhanced) from high DPI scaling behavior has saved me.
HOW:
Right Click on sqldeveloper application icon (.exe) and select Properties > Compatibility tab > Check the option of Override high DPI scaling behaviour > Select "System ( Enhanced )" in drop down below > click Apply > Re-Launch the application

Please change the font size and test by typing in the SQL window. Below is the sniping

Eclipse IDE horizontal lines in Editor

I'm using Eclipse 4.18 on Windows 10. The editor constantly shows horizontal lines at seemly random locations in the editor - see picture link for an example: (1). When scrolling up/down or when changing tabs those lines disappear (or get garbled) just to appear when scrolling again. It looks like a random pattern and I haven't been able to find anything in the Eclipse preferences to disable displaying the lines.
Previous versions of Eclipse had the same issue. Any ideas much appreciated.
Edit:
The first image (1) is taken from the sample Syntax Coloring option in Preferences -> XML > XML Files > Editor > Syntax Coloring which also displays the issue in a sample textbox.
Also, I include a screenshot of a sample .txt file opened in Eclipse IDE 2020-12 (4.18.0) (menu File -> Open File...) which shows the horizontal lines (2) on a new workspace with no plugins installed.
I hadn't encountered any similar issue on previous Eclipse versions on Win10 (I last used Eclipse in ~2019)
I had the same issue exactly.
It started after replacing my monitor.
I have a monitor that require me to increase the DPI so I will see larger fonts especially in eclipse.
When you play around with your windows DPI setting you also need to change the DPI setting in eclipse so it will try to match especially if you have high resolution.
To tweak Eclipse DPI to try to match Windows DPI you need to edit (eclipse.ini) file. It should be on the same folder where eclipse.exe is located.
I had my setting on (-Dswt.autoScale = 175) when I see the lines you describe.
After changing it to 150 it was fixed .
Play around with Eclipse DPI setting I believe it would solve your problem. It did in my case. (maybe also Windows DPI but start first with Eclipse DPI settings)
After changing DPI setting in eclipse.ini you will need to restart eclipse to see the changes.
#eclipse.ini
-Dswt.enable.autoScale=true
-Dswt.autoScale=150
-Dswt.autoScale.method=nearest

Oracle SQL Developer hides last character

I'm using the latest version of Oracle SQL Developer. I just couldn't figure why it is hiding last character please see picture.
Version 18.2.0.183
Build 183.1748
error Pic-2
Try changing to a different font family or size. This problem most likely affects just a particular font configuration.
This can be done by accessing Preferences > Code Editor > Fonts menu.
I finally figured it out! This has been happening to me for the past several months - agony! This may sound weird but here's what I did; I verified it again and it worked again.
Goto Preferences > Code Editor > Fonts
Turn off "Display Only Fixed Width Fonts
Then select Wide Latin font
Select ok.
Then go back and select Verdana (may work to select a different one but at this point I'm not messing around anymore with it).
This was not necessarily my first choice however it was the only way I was able to select a font I could live with.
At the point of turning off the fixed width fonts and selecting something different, that didn't seem to fix the issue. It was only until I selected the Wide Latin and then the Verdana that it seems to have fixed the issue.
good luck.

very small fonts and icons on 4k screens

I'm using CFeclipse on Windows 10 OS.
With the adaptation of new 4k resolution laptops. Eclipse displays small icons and fonts. Its also reported as a bug in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=451693.
The mentioned bug has been fixed, Eclipse automatically scales images on high-DPI monitors on Windows since Eclipse Neon (4.6). So, make sure your Eclipse IDE is up to date.
If upgrading does not fix your issue, in eclipse.ini add the following line below the line -vmargs (see Tweaking SWT's auto-scaling):
-Dswt.autoScale=200
(In contrast to the compatibility mode of Windows, this is the way to get the double-resolution icons.)
To solve the problem in Windows 10.
Right click Eclipse Icon
Select Properties
Compatibility Tab
Under Settings Section check
Override High DPI scaling behaviour. Scaling performed by.
Select System.
Then Apply or Ok
I haven't encountered it yet in other application but this solution might also work for other apps that displays small icons and fonts.
This solution also works in Ultraedit,FastStone capture
The steps also helps for Coldfusion installer that appears too tiny to be readable or other Application installer in a 4k screen that shows everything too small.
I was having problems with a Windows 10 RDP connection using a Surface Pro machine. A recent update made Eclipse virtually unusable.
This solution worked perfectly :
Right click Eclipse Desktop Icon
Select Properties
Compatibility Tab
Change high DPI settings
Override High DPI scaling behaviour. Scaling performed by. Select
System.
Then Apply or OK
I then had to slightly adjust the font size within Eclipse itself. I found I could use a slightly smaller font

How to set window size and position in Visual Studio Code?

Is it possible to set the VS Code window size and position, either via settings.json, though an extension, or by some other mechanism?
In Atom, I can do this in my init.coffee file as such:
atom.commands.add 'atom-workspace',
'custom:prepare-for-screencast': ->
atom.setSize(1280, 720)
atom.setPosition(37, 50)
Then I can call Prepare for screencast from the Command palette.
Not...yet?
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/settings
The closest I can find is window.newWindowDimensions, which only takes a few strings that refer to predefined geometries, although 'inherit' could serve you well in the meantime if you prime the pump by closing al your existing sessions, opening one window, sizing it to your liking, then quitting. Then all your new windows should be that size, and Visual Studio Code seems to be very well behaved with respect to resizing, just never close a resized window last, or it becomes your new default!
As for position, there appears to be nothing at all.
in vscode, go to
settins=>windw=>new window => new window dimension
there you are able to choose the following option to set the default dimensions, if vscode is getting opened:
inherit || offset || maximized || fullscreen
I prefer to use "inherit", i.e. open vs-code always as large as the previous one.
Start Visual Studio Code.
Click on "File"
Click on "Preferences"
Click on "Settings"
Write " window.newWindowDimensions " in the search box.
Select the value "inherit" from the drop down box.
That's it...!
If you're on a Mac, you can use this AppleScript snippet:
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Code"
tell window 1
set size to {1080, 720}
set position to {0, 0}
end tell
end tell
Not a general solution, but works well if you only need it when recording screencasts.
One way I found to solve this was by using the Developer Tools Console:
Help -> Toggle Developer Tools -> Console Tab
Type: window.resizeTo(1900, 1060);
Press Enter
Note: Tested on Windows 10, Ubuntu, OSX
Sidenote: Ubuntu had some strange behaviour bringing up the menu and developer tools. I had to open the developer tools while maximized, then undock the developer tools, then unmaximize the window, then type the command.
atom.commands.add 'atom-workspace',
'custom:prepare-for-screencast': ->
atom.setSize(1280, 720)
atom.setPosition(37, 50)
Then I can call Prepare for screencast from the Command palette.
This is really a good idea and a good feature to add to VSCode.
More important to me is "atom.setSize(1280, 720)"
Hope someone will be able to port this to VSCode.
"window.newWindowDimensions": "maximized"
Placing the following to settings.json is a good programmatical solution.
"window.newWindowDimensions": "offset",
The comment in the defaultSettings.json file says:
inherit: Open new windows with same dimension as last active one.
offset: Open new windows with same dimension as last active one with an offset position.
Basically the inherit option opens new windows completely overlapping to the current window, while the offset option opens new windows with around 50 px size of offset (depends on your screen size) from top/left.
I personally prefer "offset" but these two are essentially almost same.

Can't change PowerShell font and window size on Windows 8.1

My PowerShell window opens with a very small font (and window size). This is a common problem, and I found a bunch of suggestions for how to deal with it, but none of the suggestions seem to work. Specifically, the common suggestion that one should open PowerShell with admin privileges, change the properties, and then close the window, doesn't work. It's still small the next time I open it. The only way I managed to get it to open with the right font and window size, was by opening the application directly. Any invocation via a shortcut doesn't give the right properties.
I'm running Windows 8.1, which seems to be the main difference between my situation and that of the other users who had this problem. Any idea how to fix this?
For Windows 8.1, in Start, find PowerShell.
Open file location. Open shortcut Properties (right click menu). Security tab → Edit your permissions to Modify.
Select Font tab (skip errors - nothing is set hence the problem). Select Font (I set Lucida Sans Size 16).
Apply (changes). Security tab Edit permissions remove modify. Apply. All done.
Is it possible that you are adjusting the Properties rather than the 'Defaults'? Also, I am with Keith; the Consolas fonts give you much large sizes than the Raster, and the Lucida Console give people problems.
I'm on Windows 8.1 and the only thing I ever do is start PowerShell via its shortcut then edit the console properties to my liking. I then launch PowerShell elevated and set the same settings. Usually that has me pretty well covered on Windows 8.1. Of course, if you then launch the x86 console for PowerShell you may need to configure it as well.
I had the same problem. As stated here I select a non-12pt font, and it works. So I choose 14 pt Consolas. And it works. I'm using Windows 7 and Windows Server 2012. Both acts like the same.
Run PowerShell as Administrator, set the default font properties, and close the PowerShell window.
Then run PowerShell as the normal user, and you should see the same font as you did before.
