Is there an option in Spyder to set/change a default script window (editor) scale?

I always have to adjust the script display for each script when I open Spyder with ctrl + mouse wheel and it annoys me a lil bit.

I searched it Spyder preferences and in google, but didn't find anything helpful.

Seems that I didn't inspect Preferences attentively enough initially. Right answer is:

Preferences->Text and margin font style->Size

EDIT: updating answer according to comments.

In the latest versions of Spyder IDE path to changing font size is:

Tools → Preferences → General → Appearance → Fonts
