How to change the font in MySQL Workbench editor
Today I downloaded MySQL Workbench 5.2.31 CE. I usually work with different languages and I found that SQL Editor didn’t show russian letters correctly. I went to the Preferences but there I found that I can’t change the font. In the Preferences you can only see what the font is used but you cannot change it. Fortunately, there’re a lot of config files in XML format you can change. Before change any setting file you should close the Workbench. I use Windows 7 and to change the font I oppened this file C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\MySQL\Workbench\wb_options.xml and found this key workbench.general.Editor:Font and changed it to the value I needed. Here is what I have in my wb_options.xml:

Just remember, before changing this option close the MySQL Workbench and after the changing start it, doing this you will avoid your option to be overwritten.
Good finding, thank you!
There is MySQL Workbench bug for this #62345
(http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=62345&thanks=3¬ify=195).
I left comment and reference to this page.

Vacheslav,
actually you can change the font in MySQL Workbench, it is just not that obvious. Click twice (slowly, no double click) on the font name and it will become editable (this is similar to renaming something in Explorer). Added a nice font picker popup is on the todo list.

Mike Lischke’s answer worked for me on Mac OS.
Hello,
I set Courier New for the editor, and the results tab of a query is still displayed with proportional spacing.
Is that normal ?
