I just installed Jupyter Notebook on Windows 10 using `pip` and the installation steps specified in the documentation.

I searched before I asked, but most of the answers I found were confusing.

Is there a simple method to change the font and font size of the output text?

One of the big improvements for JupyterLab , which is the more current generation in the evolution of Jupyter, is that it is much easier to control this, see [here](https://stackoverflow.com/a/54520440/8508004).

However, for the traditional (classic) notebook interface, it isn’t as easy. This [post](https://stackoverflow.com/a/27031060/8508004) describes how.

If you are unclear about which interface you are dealing with, you can go [here](https://jupyter.org/try) and pick the upper right block to try JupyterLab.

You can install JupyterLab, if you haven’t already.
