How to make IDLE window more readable? Font too small for me to see

I can't seem to figure out how to zoom in or anything, and the font is so small. Thank you for your help. I'm using a mac if that helps

For Mac Python 3.9, Go to Idle -> Preferences -> Fonts/Tabs Option.

On the top menu, choose Options, then Configure IDLE. The Fonts/Tabs tab will be displayed. There is a Size button. Click on it and select a bigger size than the default of 10. At present, this only only affects the font in Shell, editor, and output windows, but that is the main issue for me.

EDIT: correct Options menu entry as suggested by Nathan Wailes. IDLE Preferences was once the title of the resulting dialog, but it is now Settings.
