Dear R People: On the Edit menu, there is a GUI preference tab. On the Font option, the highest value is 18. Has anyone ever had the font size set larger than that will any success, please? Thanks, Erin Hodgess Associate Professor Department of Computer and Mathematical Sciences University of Houston - Downtown mailto: hodgess at gator.uhd.edu PS Windows, R 2-2-1
Dear Erin, This is, I guess, under Windows. You can set the point size to a larger value by editing the Rconsole file in R's \etc directory.

Erin, I was able to set it larger by making the change manually in the "Rconsole" file. For details of Rgui (Windows) configuration, try > ?Rconsole from the prompt.

The control is supposed to allow you to type in your own choice of font size, but because of what looks like a typo, it restricts choices to the ones in the list. As others have said, you can set a value in the Rconsole file, but with this bug, it won't display properly. Since this bug has been around for at least 7 years, I'm going to check the fix for it fairly carefully before I commit it, but I expect it to be fixed in the next release. I may increase the list of sizes in the dropdown box at the same time. Duncan Murdoch

For the non-truetype fonts there, the maximum may be 16 or 14. How large did you want? 18pt Lucida Console looks large enough for projection on a VGA or XGA projector.> Erin Hodgess wrote on 4/24/2006 6:44 PM: >> >> On the Edit menu, there is a GUI preference tab. >> >> On the Font option, the highest value is 18. >> >> Has anyone ever had the font size set larger than that will any >> success, please?-- Brian D.
