Changing Fonts in IDLE-0.5

[Jeff Stephens]

I am just starting out with Python and was trying to use idle, but the
fonts
are so small it's giving me a headache.  I followed the instructions in
the
help menu and tried editing the 'EditorWindow.py' file to no avail. I
commented
out the first line and uncommented the second as recommended: no change.
I tried
changing the sizes of both fonts to 10, 12: no change.  The only thing I
can figure is
that idle is using some default that is not reflected by either of these
lines. Can someone
help before I go blind.  Thanks.

Regards,
Jeff Stephens
