How to adjust the font size in visual C++?

The font in the editor is so small, I want to adjust it, but don't know
how.
Thanks for your tips.

When you go there, the Options dialog box contains a list box titled:
"Display Item". (which I would expect). From the list, I chose
'comment' and assigned it the font 'Arial'. So I was sure I will
continue to have the code remaining 'Courier New' while comments
being 'Arial'.
So here came the surprise: EVERYTHING went 'Arial', which of course
looses the point. So what is the purpose of me selecting an item from
that "Display Item" list, if my font assignment applies to everything?

Thanks,
David

Maybe to select a color, as well?

Color changes to comments only works. But other
font attributes don't. So clearly there is a bug here
unless there is some obscure way to accomplish it,
in which case it is a bug in the thinking/design.

It does not appear to be a bug. It appears to be the case that, by design,
you can only have one font type for all types of text. You distinguish
comments, keywords etc by color.

I'm not sure it's a bug. Font combo box is located right
under "Show settings for" combo and above all other controls
(including items). Also, fonts combo is the same size as
"Show settings for" combo. Font size combo is of the same
size as "Use Defaults" button. All together three combos and
the button make logical group of settings. So, user gets a
hint that font settings related to all of items bellow.
Item's settings controls are besides items list box, so it's
clear that they are related to each item in the list.
