Greets, 
The  'Source code window text' is too small for me to read.
How Can I make 'Source code Window text' LARGER ?

Thanks...Vernon

I'm not an expert and don't know what side effects there might be, but
I did this:

1. Followed this menu route:
Tools > Preferences > Advanced and clicked the "Configuration Editor"
Button

2. Click the warning "I'll be careful, I promise" button.

3. On the dialogue that appears, enter "font.size" (without quotes) in
the search field.

4. Scroll down the list to find the entry:

font.size.fixed.x-unicode

Double-clicked on this and changed the value to 16 in the dialogue
that pops up. Also did the same for:

font.size.fixed.x-western

NOTE: I just guessed at the options that seemed relevant! Once these
values are changed from the default they show in bold, so are easy to
find again.

5. Backed out of all open dialogues.

I found that the new setting did not take effect until I closed and
reloaded the file I was working on.

As I mentioned earlier, I have no idea what other effects changing
these settings have, but they did make the text Source View larger.

Use the zoom controls (up and down buttons) in the status bar?

Hi Vernon,
Daniel's suggestion works well for occasional use, but the revised
zoom level is not remembered, so if you regularly edit the source, it
seems better to use the Configuration Editor.
