Is it possible to change the console font size in IntelliJ IDEA?

I changed the actual text size under Settings > Editor > Font, but "console/terminal" font is too small.

I'm using Community Edition 15

Works on every Intellij Version

Press Ctrl+Shift+a and search for console font:

Select Console Font and the right settings menu will be opened.

Intellij Version < 2018

Open Settings -> Editor -> Colors & Fonts -> Console Font

You can change font size and colors there but you have to save the Scheme into a custom scheme before you can change the values.

I am using the ultimate edition. If you don't see that settings it's probably because of the community edition you are using.

Intellij Version >= 2018

Open Settings -> Editor -> Color Scheme -> Console Font
