Font size pref should apply to serial monitor #550

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

What change would like to see?

The font size pref should also change the serial monitor font size.

Why?

Accessibility!  Users with limited vision require a larger font size.  Arduino 
has this capability for the editor.  But how useful is the whole system if the 
serial monitor isn't as accessible?

Would this cause any incompatibilities with previous versions?  If so, how
can these be mitigated?

Shouldn't cause any problems.

Here is another patch.  This one makes both the serial monitor and console 
panel (for error messages) use the editor's font size.

I would really like to see the serial monitor and console font size patch be 
incorporated into Arduino. The above patch seems like the perfect solution for 
someone such as myself who has a hard time seeing the monitor and console. I 
use a font size of 20 on the editor, and then I have to lean forward and squint 
at the console or monitor. Please consider including this feature or some 
variant which allows setting all three or individually. That would really help 
:-) Thanks very much for your consideration :-)

I am really confused about this issue. I see it says this problem has been 
fixed, but from what I can tell nothing has changed with the new 1.0 IDE. Am I 
missing where to change these fonts? I though all you had to do was change it 
on the Preference page where it says Editor Font Size. 

I have changed the main Editor Window font size to 12, but doing that seems to 
have no effect on the monitor, nor the console font size.

For clarification I am using the new 1.0 IDE. 
Thanks for your help

You must compile the latest code from github, or wait until the next official 
Arduino release.
