I know how to change the font of "Java editor" in Eclipse in menu Windows → Preferences → Appearance → Colors and Fonts, but I could not find an option for changing the font of "layout editor" for files like myLayout.xml or strings.xml.
Where is it?

The canonical question is How can I change font size in Eclipse for Java text editors? (but this does not necessarily make this a duplicate).Peter Mortensen– Peter Mortensen2017-01-01 18:02:37 +00:00Commented Jan 1, 2017 at 18:02

Use menu Windows → Preferences → Appearance → Colors and Fonts → Basic → Text Font. This is a common text font setting that is applied to XML file editors by default.
I also found this message.

Does not it affect on other Appearances?

Yes it does affect all editors which don't have own settings.

First click apply button and then click ok button. Otherwise it dose not take affect.
For my Eclipse v4.4 (Luna) installation, the XML editor font size is changed under:
Menu Window → Preferences → General → Appearance → Colors and Fonts → Structured Text Editors → Structured Text Editor Text Font.

This is the correct answer.
Structured Text Editor Text Font is used by the XML editor. (By default it is set to the basic Text Font.)

Unfortunately that doesn't work in Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java Developers for Version: 2019-06 (4.12.0)
I had to expand General to get to Appearance... I figured it out in about 3.2 seconds, but just in case anyone wants to save that 3.2 seconds:
Windows-> General -> Preferences-> Appearance-> Colors and Fonts-> Basic -> TextFont -> Edit...
This is in Eclipse IDE for Android Developers v23.0.2. I'm pretty sure this changes all font sizes for everything in the editor.. ? But I'm assuming if you want XML font to be bigger, you want all files to be that font size.

I wanted to set bold font for XML attribute values in XML editor. It is in Window -> Preferences -> XML -> XML Files -> Editor -> Syntax Coloring.
