The font-size of the textarea that accepts SQL queries on my phpMyAdmin installation is too small. One workaround I found is to increase the minimum font size i
Find your phpMyAdmin directory.
cd themes
You may see more than one theme, and you want to make changes in the theme you are using -- phpMyAdmin lets you choose your theme. I use the original theme, so I made changes there.
Go to the css directory of the theme
cd original/css /* or your preferred theme */
Use a text editor like nano to modify theme_right.css.php
nano theme_right.css.php
Search for 2 style definitions
.CodeMirror pre
.CodeMirror textarea
Both will show "font-size: inherit" or font-size:inherit!important
Change to
font-size: 16px; /* or whatever you prefer */
Save and reload phpMyAdmin Note that you may need to clear your browser cache for these changes to appear.
