    Hi,

    I’m running Eclipse 3.4 (MyEclipse 7.0) for Mac OS. Whenever I print, the font size is huge. I’m guessing at least 14 to 18 points. I try and remember to scale the output to 70% to make it usable. I cannot find any setting in the preferences that would appear to affect printing. I won’t to reduce the font size so can anyone tell me where it’s set in th first place.

    Thanks,
    Rob

    Hi Rob,
    The best way to control font size is to use stylesheets. If you are using safari, you can use [Ctrl+-] to decrease the font size, and [Ctrl++] to increase the font size.
    In case you need to change the color and fontsize inside MyEclipse, you can use Window > Preferences > General > Appearance > Colors and Fonts.
    Hope this Helps.

    What are you trying to print? I.e. Java source code, some diagram or else?

    Java source code, JSPs, etc.

    I opened a PR against Eclipse. Unfortunately this problem should be fixed in the platform.

    Editors will always use a bigger font for printing on Mac.
