It is of course possible to change the command window's text size by setting preferences, using the GUI. Is there a way to do the same programmatically by executing a MATLAB command or script? That would be much more convenient (I am calling MATLAB through engOpen() from C). At the moment MATLAB is using a 6-pixel font on my hi-dpi monitor (3840x2160), which is really inconvenient. The console has a menu bar, but it offers none of the functionality a normal OS cmd window has.

s = settings;
s.matlab.fonts.codefont.Size.PersonalValue = 16;

@marcel hendrix, it seems to work fine. Here's the difference you can notice if the change in fontsize settings is done from 10 to 16![](https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/uploaded_files/1737121/image.png)

In that case, you might want to try saving a pre-set settings to a folder and re-load it.
