Is it possible to increase the font size in Console? I am looking at a 27" Thunderbolt display sitting about 4 feet away and the tiny font is unreadable. It appears to be Menlo 11 and I need at least size 18 to read it on this display.

Unfortunately you can't change the font for Console.app OOTB with macOS
Console.app uses the font that is located in the application itself (/Applications/Utilities/Console.app/Contents/Resources/Fonts/). If you delete it, which is not recommended, the default font it will revert to Helvetiva.

1I don't know what OS you are using but there is no such location in Catalina. The real Console.app is at /System/Applications/Utilities/Console.app/ for some reason I am unable to edit to code or add a return character to this text. In addition, there is no such Fonts folder or file, however I did find a Fonts location in the Info.plist file called "Application fonts resource path" which points to somewhere called Fonts however I can't find any such location. It seems that Apple has prevented usability to the best of their ability. Commented Aug 11, 2020 at 14:46
