Changing font size and default language in SQL developer or Data Integrator

Changing the default tiny font size

By default the letters in SQL developer or Data integrator are hardly visible. The steps to increase the font size are quite the same on windows and linux. In %userprofile%/AppData on Windows or $HOME on Linux search for a file ide.properties. One file will be found in SQL developer folder, whereas in ODI folder two files will be found (No idea why because it does not matter).

In SQL developer's file uncomment a line with Ide.FontSize=18 and set the convienient font size (no less than 18).

Add the the same line to the two ODI files which seems identical on Linux, and different on Windows (the last two pictures).

Restart the applications.

Changing the default language to English

Java uses the default locale of the computer. To change the language, one needs to change JVM system variables. It can be done in a configuration file ide.conf located in the installation folder of SQL developer or ODI, e.g C:\oracle\Middleware\Oracle_Home. Add to lines the end of the file and then restart the application:

AddVMOption -Duser.language=en
AddVMOption -Duser.country=US

  2. Hi there! The smaller font under each word tells the actual name of the font. The "sparkling" one is called Sweet Pea font and the link is: http://www.dafont.com/sweet-pea.font
