Change font of output console in Visual Studio?

I'm a beginner programmer using visual basic on visual studio working mostly with Consoles, and I would like to change the font size of the text that the compiler outputs displays when the code is compiled (not the text when I'm coding, those are fine). Here's what it looks like, compare it to the exit, minimise buttons and the file directory on the title bar for size references

Right now, the font size is like 8pt which is annoying.

In VSC 2019 go to File -> Preferences -> Settings -> Features -> Terminal and find option of font-size and change to apropriate value for your needs.Question isnt really clear what you exactly need but for all settings of font-size-s is pretty the same path to the solution.

None of the solutions suggested by jessehouwing worked for me (using Visual Studio 2017).

What did work was running a console program to open the console, clicking the small icon on the left in the title bar of the console window, clicking properties, fonts, and chosing the preferred font size.

Open the options window and go to the Fonts and Colors item. Select the window you'd like to change and then change the font-size to your liking:

You'll likely need to change multiple items, since each window uses its own settings:

  • Output Window
  • Command Window
  • Immediate Window

And possibly others.

To change the font size of the console that launches when you debug an application, you need to change the default font size for the windows console.

Start a command-prompt and then open the options screen

Set the font size:

This will apply to all consoles that open in the future.
