How to change MySQL Workbench interface font size?
Please note: interface, not editor fonts.
Workbench 6.3 on Windows 8.1
That's not possible. Some places use the system font size (especially standard controls) and many others have hard coded font sizes.

All of the buttons for run, debug, new class, etc. are incredibly small and almost unreadable. I'm just wondering if there's a way I can get them to be larger. I'm new to eclipse and java and don't have much knowledge on the program or its settings.
This is typically controlled by your host OS settings. I don't have Windows 8, however on all other OS'es I've had to change the default system font to be larger to effect those used in the Eclipse UI.
Also there are some editor preferences in Eclipse itself that can modify some of these font sizes, however it's usually only the editor font, not the font used on controls.
edit:
I actually found a way to do this which is somewhat of an hack that's sort of detailed here https://stackoverflow.com/a/19675350/663367
Install the Eclipse 4 CSS Editor plug-in http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/eclipse-4-tools-lightweight-css-editor
Go to the Preferences in Window > Preferences > General > Appearances, you should see a Theme selector, and then a big text area with some CSS-like annotations. By editing the CSS directly, you can increase the font size of pretty much everything, but Table Headers (my sole pet-peeve).
My Netbeans 7.4 claims, it uses Courier New 18pt font:
However, when I set my Notepad++ (and any other piece of software on my Windows 7) to the very same typefaces and font size:
Font clearly looks much bigger.
Can someone enlighten me, what am I missing? How can two programs claim that they use the very same font for text display and display that text it two different heights?
Maybe have you unconsciously made zoom. Try Alt + Mouse Wheel or defined there:

Is it possible to change the default font in netbeans? The documentation says:
The font Monospaced is maped to different fonts on different systems.
On Windows it is mapped to "Courier ", on Linux it is mapped to
"Lucida Typewriter".
http://ui.netbeans.org/docs/ui/editor_fonts_colors/Editor_fonts_and_colors.htm
I'm on windows and want to map Monospaced font to 'Consolas' instead of 'Courier'.
P.S. I know that fonts can easily be changed from options, but when I change it in this way, I can no longer use unicode characters. Guess I need to do what they call 'mapping' the monospaced font to other font.
Tools > Options > Fonts and Colors
Set the category "Default", and to the right of that, the font you want to use.
If this does not fix it, try adding:
--laf Nimbus -J-Dswing.aatext=true -J-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=lcd
or
-J-Dswing.aatext=true -J-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=lcd --laf Metal
to the file : netbeans.conf. You can find it in $NETBEANS_HOME/etc/ folder. Make your application font smaller from system preferences.
To change the font size outside of the editor you can configure by editing the Net Beans conf file, you can find it here:
C:\Program Files\NetBeans 8.0.2\etc\netbeans.conf
Then edit this line:
netbeans_default_options="..."
by adding this at the end:
--fontsize 18
I hope it helps :-)
Life becomes more easier now. Just from Tools menu choose Options and then follow steps on the following screen shot and take care with step 3 and 4 which they are making the default font for all languages:
I have a NetBeans plugin called 'UI-Editor' which allows you to customize virtually any Swing property, including font sizes, colors, and types. Go to Tools->Plugins and search for 'UI-Editor' or go here: http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/55618/?show=true
also don't not forget to change the font to the one that support Arabic like Arial for example i am not sure of some one mention that i just tried it
As far as I can tell there's no way to do this. jEdit (http://jedit.org) also uses Swing and DOES do font substitution for all fonts - there's a "automatic font substitution" checkbox in Global Options > Text Area, along with a list of preferred fonts. But jEdit is otherwise not as capable as Netbeans.
There is no way to adjust the font or font size of the Java Package Explorer. It inherits the font settings from the system. In the case of Windows XP, the default 8 point font is too small for my taste. I'd like to enlarge it. When I do that, however, this affects the browser and other applications and in some cases makes the font too large in other contexts (such as Firefox Tab Text).
Eclipse is supposed to respect the OS settings but it turns out on Mac OS X the default setting for eclipse is to use small Fonts rather than the standard os fonts.
on Mac OS X you can change edit the eclipse.ini file and remove -Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.carbon.smallFonts restart eclipse and presto you will find that your package explorer looks brilliant with reasonable sized fonts.
Is it possible to use a font size of 10.5 in Eclipse? 10 is too small and 11 is too large, but I am unable to enter 10.5 in the font size dialog, as it requires an integer. Could this setting be changed somewhere else?
I do not think it is possible, because the entire SWT Font API uses integer as font heights, and Eclipse builds on SWT.
