Does anyone know how to zoom in on NetBeans code?

I want to enlarge the code I've written in NetBeans so it's easier to read. I can enlarge the output by using ctrl and '+', but it doesn't work on the code. Does anyone know how to do this?

Alt+Scroll Wheel (on mouse) will do it. If you want to change the font size, go to Tools>Options>Fonts&Colors [note: this is a large icon/tab]. From there, in the Syntax tab (default) click Default, then the '...' button next to Font. Change the font size here, and click Okay. Other fonts inherit this size, so that should be the only change.

Lots of "mouse driven" answers here. But not everyone uses a mouse anymore. To Zoom In/Out of the Output Window of Netbeans 11.x do this, it's simple.

Press Ctrl while pressing the Arrow Up (to zoom in) and Arrow Down (to zoom in) keys on your keyboard.

NetBeans 7.2 changes the behaviour slightly – now you need to initiate a press down click on the scroll wheel whilst scrolling to increase/decrease the font size. No keyboard assistance required! - ref http://www.craiglotter.co.za/2012/10/16/how-to-quickly-increase-or-descrease-the-font-size-in-netbeans-ide/
