Editor Text Is Too Small

As shown in the picture, my text is too small only in my Editor Window. This is a recent problem, and I have had proper sized font in the past. I have gone to Preferences > Fonts and changed the size but it only changes for the other windows.

I have the same issue and the accepted answer did not solve my issue. My editor fonts are set correctly. I believe this issue started for me after I connected to an external monitor, but I am not positive.

Does not changing the size at the preferences location change display?

I can change the font to something huge like 36 to get it to look like about 10 or 12. But it seems the editor is "zoomed" incorrectly.

What release, OS, platform??? Also, what is your font selection?

I normally use "Desktop Code" for the editor which is monospaced and my default fontsize is 9.

I did just go mung on the settings however, and it seems to follow what font/size is selected ok here with R2022b and Win10. I was still with R2021b at the time of the Answer below, but no change in this behavior I can see...although I do see the reason for complaints about the newer editor -- it has lots of annoying "features" I've yet learned how to disable without turning off tab completion entirely; I'm guessing can't and the thing about the search is indeed painful...

Yeah I agree it's a zoom problem, not a font size problem.

The Editor Font selection is buried under the "Fonts -- Custom" menu in the Preferences. Why it's not associated with the Editor is annoying but...
