If interested, the Source view borrows the font setting from "Form text
field multi-line" ( opera:config#Fonts|Form.Text ) If this setting is
altered while the Source view is open, it helps to close the Source view,
then re-open it.
Otherwise, use a third-party text editor with better control over font and
zoom settings.

I'm sure this decision was based simply on usability studies of existing
browsers, such as MSIE and FF.
I'm not sure that it is wrong anyway. The action does bring one to
a "view" of the "source" without _imposing_ any edits. Editing is
a user action taken after the fact. "View source" is exactly what
it does. And for outside programs one might use a "viewer" utility
instead of an "editor".
