Simplest: edit the textfile (in your Python library
directory) named:
python2.2/site-packages/idlelib/config-unix.txt
it probably looks somewhat like:
[EditorWindow]
font-name= courier
font-size= 14
all you have to do is change the font name and/or
size -- experiment until you get the font you like.
Alternatively, to perform this customization for
ONE user only, e.g. yourself, copy the above mentioned
configuration file to ~/.idle (i.e. to a file named
.idle in your home directory) and edit THAT -- it
takes precedence on config-unix.txt, if it exists.
