Please do not post the same thing multiple times. The board software automatically flags certain posts as needing moderator attention. This happens the most often for new users. I'm pretty sure this is made clear at the time you attempt to post. Posting the same thing over and over again just makes that many more posts the moderators have to weed through later. This makes us sad. Don't make us sad. If your post/thread doesn't appear, just wait a while. Don't post it again. If it hasn't shown up by the next day, then you can try again. I normally go through posts in the mornings, and try to check a few times throughout the day, but I'm not here 24/7. There will typically be a significant delay before posts are approved. Just be patient.
Can somebody please tell me how to increase the font size in xcode? It is at size 10 by default, which is absolutely ridiculously small. However, not as ridiculous as how hard it seems to be to change the font size. When you go to change the font in the preferences, first it asks to to make a copy of a font template so you don't mess up what already is a mess. Then, it looks as though you would have to change the font for every category of text which is around 30 or so. But the great thing is, it wont even let you change the font size! I can't even google an answer in 15 minutes. Not only that, it took me another 5 just to find a forum that actually had more than 100 posts total. My eyes are now burning, my head aching, and I am in serious need of a beer, maybe a six pack, to calm me down.
I wouldn't be surprised if this lengthy post doesn't go through due to some http error, leaving me to write it all over again. Thank God the copy button works, I think.
Thanks for the reply. Sorry for not making myself all too clear in my rant. I'm wondering about changing the font inside the xcode ide itself. I find it hard to code when I have to squint to see what I'm doing.
mrab54 i have the same problem getting in to Xcode liking the IDE it self but then i go to customize the colors and fonts and when i change the font in the preference window, it doesnt update the selected font for some reason:mad: in Xcode 3.1.1 on OSX 10.5.6
Well I finally came back to it, went into preferences->fonts, changed the font size and it just worked. I did nothing different than from before, so I must have just gotten myself into a bad state where the changes were not getting applied. Thanks for the responses.
Mine still doesn't work let me make sure that i am doing it correctly
Open Xcode Open preferences select fonts & colors select lets say comments out of the list double click the font name then select the new font size lets say 12 (from 10) then no thing happens

Lol, well yeah that's about what I tried forever and then suddenly it just worked... Something has got to be buggy with it but if there is some secret to it, that has got to be the worst user interface design ever.
If you do something in Xcode which doesn't react as you would expect it to, I've learnt to just close and re-open XCode, 99% of the time that fixes things
Xcode>> preferences>> Fonts & Colors TAB>> Choose the color THEME you like in the drop down list and then duplicate the theme. Call it what you want, say "SUNSET 14 font" or whatever.
Now CHOOSE this new theme from the drop down box. Click on the: "plain text" line then go down to the "Other Preprocessor Macros" line and SHIFT click to highlight all of the lines that actually have a FONT TYPE AND SIZE.
When you have all of these lines selected you can hit COMMAND T and then select the font type and size to what you want. You should see the changes.
NOW make sure you press APPLY at the bottom of the Xcode Preferences window to save your new selection
1. Go to XCode > Preferences > Fonts & Color 2. Double click on a font entry to get the Font inspector window 3. Select all font entries with sizes you'd like to increase/decrease 4. In the Font inspector window select the same font (e.g. All Fonts > Menlo > Regular > 14)
