In Eclipse, how can I change default font for Python code in the editor (PyDev plugin)?

I navigate to menu Window → Preference → General → Appearance → Colors & Fonts, but I don't find which item would affect the Python code font.

As you are using PyDev, you should have a look at menu Window → Preferences → PyDev → Editor (PyDev Editor Preferences).

    Yes, I use PyDev. I follow your guide and click on link Color & Fonts at the bottom. I lead me to item Basic - Text Font in screen Colors & Fonts I mentioned in question. That is the item affecting python code fonts. Thanks. – bnguyen82 Mar 27 '12 at 03:52

This is for Mac:

Go to Eclipse → Preferences → General → Appearance → Colors and Fonts → Basic → Text Font.

Edit the font structure for the text font.

On a Mac, I can get to the PyDev settings via:

Eclipse → Preferences → PyDev (in tree) → Editor (subtree)

In my case, I wanted to change hash tag comments from nearly invisible grey to a better color. It worked like a charm.

Following the guidance of gecco, I found out the item in General → Appearance → Colors & Fonts which affects Python code fonts. It's Text Font in the Basic folder.
