Is the laptop a MacBook Pro with Retina Display, and you are running a release before R2012b ?
Go to: file->preferences->fonts->desktop code font and make it bigger

You can choose custom and then edit it.

Yes. But it would be very nice if there was a shortcut, too. Everytime one switches from e.g. Laptop screen to large screen the preferences have to be opened. Come on Mathworks, just implement Ctrl+ and CTRL- !
Same opinion here...
Well, up to R2020a they did manage to implement it in a live script. Both Ctrl+/Ctrl- and Ctrl_MouseWheel work. There is even an easy way to set zoom to 100%. You just zoom out completely and than zoom in 7 times. ;-)
Unfortunately, this is still not yet implemented for .m files. :-(
Ctrl +/- and Ctrl mouse-scroll works for me on m-files in 2022b (Win 11).

This only works on newer releases. I don't have access right now to older releases to confirm, but I suspect it was implemented in live scripts right from R2016a. In R2021b many features from the live editor were merged in the normal editor. Since it works in R2022a, I'm going to guess this is one of the features that were ported.
