Hello all,
I recently updated Gedit (during a full system upgrade) and now text is incredibly small on my FHD display. After searching for quite some time in Gedit's (really bad) documentation in the GNOME wiki I found out that now a plugin is needed to change the text size. But after installing the gedit-plugins package, I can't find a way to enlarge the text size or enable any of the plugins at all.
How do I enable plugins in Gedit? The GNOME wiki doesn't help much since it's quite outdated...
Thanks in advance for your help.

You can change the font / text size in the preferences as always. Alternatively you can change it via the plugin shipped with gedit-plugins to change the fontsize during editing.

Thanks for your reply, but I can't find that option in the preferences menu anywhere. Can you please tell me where exactly you find that option to change the font size?
As I said, the plugins are not working.

OK, it was totally my fault. Gedit and the plugins work fine.
Turns out, I just didn't understand the GNOME UI and thus couldn't find the "real" Gedit preferences – I always assumed the preferences were in the drop-down menu in the window title, while actually it is in the status bar of the DE when the Gedit window is focused. I have to admit, I already found the solution before I wrote this post, but only read the accepted answer and dismissed it as outdated (2014). The second answer clarifies it:

Just in case, someone is as GNOME-illiterate as I am.
Sorry for the noise.
