IntelliJ is one of the popular IDEs for application development in many programming languages. It has a community edition with most of the essential features and also offers a licensed edition. With plenty of plugins available, IntelliJ is the default choice for software development in many organizations. One can customize most of the aspects of the IDE to suit their taste.
Configure Editor Font
To configure the font in general, open the Preferences window. Navigate to Editor > Font
and select the desired font family and font size. Alternatively, type Font
in the search box and configure the editor font.
Configure Console Font
If you want to configure the font of the console differently from the editor font, IntelliJ provides a way. I personally prefer to use a bigger font size and larger line height in the editor. For the console, I prefer to use a smaller font and lesser line height. To configure the console font, open the Preferences window. Navigate to Editor > Color Scheme > Console Font
and check the box beside “Use console font instead of the default”. Alternatively, type Console Font
in the search box and configure the console font.
