Isabelle font preferences

Note that Isabelle uses a lot of mathematical symbols so make sure that an alternative font supports these characters.

Quickly change Isabelle font size

The font size of selected Isabelle font can be adjusted quickly from the editor. Use the font increase/decrease buttons Increase font Decrease font available in the toolbar or use menu items Isabelle > Increase/Decrease Isabelle Font.

Keyboard shortcuts Ctrl + + and Ctrl + - can also be used to adjust the font (use Cmd instead of Ctrl on Mac OS X). Cmd + = can also be used to increase the font on Mac OS X as a workaround for key clashes. You can change these shortcuts in preferences: Preferences > General > Keys.
