Is it possible to have a different font size for console output?

Hello world! I'm a new user of IntelliJ IDEA.

Is it possible to set the font size of the console output (out/error) to something different from the font size used for the editor?

In Settings/IDE Settings/Editor/Colors & Fonts/General there is a "Console standard output" and "Console error output" section, but it seems the font size is only configured globally, in Settings/IDE Settings/Editor/Colors & Fonts/Font.

I would like to set the editor to be 14px but the console to be 10px. Is that possible?

Thanks in advance!

P.S. I'm a little bit confused to ask but: what is the real name of the software? Intellij? IDEA? IntelliJ IDEA?

Thanks for the reply Denis..

But there is no Editor - Colors & Fonts - Console Font path on my version of Intellij (10.5.1). Only:

Settings/IDE Settings/Editor/Colors & Fonts/General/Console standard output


And it seems I can't change font size from there.

Sorry, just checked the codebase and found out that that is provided as a fix for IDEA-11733. The change will be available at v.11 or you can build Community Edition from sources.

@J L there is a drop-down menu for themes. Click on `save as`, save current theme under a different name (it will automatically swithc to it, if not, switch manually), now you can edit the font in your "user-defined" theme.
