My day for dumb questions. How do I increase the type size in the Rgui console in Windows? (R-2.13.0, Windows 7) It looked to me that I just needed to change the font spec in Rconsole but that does not seem to be working. The R FAQ for Windows has a reference in Q3.4 to changing fonts, (Q5.2), but I don't see anything relevant there. Rconsole originally was: font = TT Courier New points = 10 style = normal # Style can be normal, bold, italic I changed this to points=14 and then in desperation to points=18 with no effect. I have both restarted R and done a complete reboot to no avail. What am I missing?

One simple way: Run R (the gui version) Click on the Edit menu Click on the GUI Preferences item. Select the font, size, style, colors, etc. that you want. If you click on Save then these become the new default. If you click on Apply, but don't save then they will last that session but not be the new defaults. -- Gregory (Greg) L.

What am I missing?You probably edited *one* of at least two Rconsole files. The one in your home directory (probably C:/Users/Username/Documents/Rconsole) takes precedence.
