How do I change the default text font in Eclipse?

How do I set the default font size in Eclipse?

I'd like to set a default for unrecognized file types, like shell scripts and text files.

Use menu Window → Preferences → General → Appearance → Colors and fonts → Basic → Text Font → Edit.

Here you can change your preferred font and size.

As a side note to this, using Eclipse v4.3 (Kepler), I have just opened up Eclipse on my shiny new works laptop and everything was in Segoe UI font - Bizarre.

I used the following to reset everything as the previous examples didn't seem to format XML and a few other types very well...

General → Appearance → Colors and Fonts → Structured Text Editors → Structured Text Editor Text font (overrides...)

Once I set this to Consolas it seems to have set everything to Consolas :)

Software Salariman has posted a solution - "Change Default Text Font in Eclipse".

The default font is set in:

Menu Window → Preferences → General → Appearance → Colors and fonts → Basic/Text Font.
