How can I change the font size of Markdown preview in IntelliJ IDEA?

How do I change the font size of the Markdown preview in IntelliJ IDEA 2017.1? The default font size is so small that it's useless.

I tried to change:

Preferences > Editor > Colors and Fonts > Font > Primary font
Preferences > Editor > Colors and Fonts > Font > Secondary font
Preferences > Editor > Colors and Fonts > Markdown
  (this doesn't have any font or size options)
⌘->scroll wheel

I can change the font size in the editor windows, but I haven't found a trick for changing the font of the Markdown preview window.

I also use

Preferences > Appearance & Behavior > Appearance > Override default fonts by

And even that doesn't change the font size.

I use

IntelliJ IDEA 2017.1

File> Preferences> Search "Preview"> "Page Scale" (allows values ​​from 0.1 to 10). If you set it to about 1.5, it works well. Use decimal places to get the best results possible.
