Hello,
Here are two screen captures that illustrate how to change fonts and
their size and style in RGui.
Though it's an option, I don't see the point in changing the style to
bold permanently, increase the size instead.
Do not forget to click <Apply> when done.
Hope this help,
Rui Barradas

I am on windows. In the R editor that comes with the R installation I can go to the "Edit" menu and
thence to the "GUI preferences" at the bottom of the drop down. I get a pop up (that I cannot show)
and there is a "Font" section that allows you to change font, and size, and style. Size options go
up to 36 point font, but have many smaller options. The apply button at the bottom lets me see the results
without closing the window.

By "standard R editor" to you mean the RGUI editor that ships with R? On my Mac platform,
it has menu entries in the "Format" menu that allow you to choose different fonts and
sizes. On Windows, of course, the menus may be organized differently, but I would assume there's
something similar. If you mean some other editor (e.g. see ?edit), then you need to dig into their
docs. Again, I assume something similar would be available.
Cheers,
Bert

Dear R development Team
I am a long time user of R with a distinctly poor vision. I have been
using the standard R interface for many years and am comfortable with
it except for one minor detail. There seems to be no way to change
the font in the standard R editor. I think that this used to be
possible and would like it to be brought back in future releases. At
the moment I have many R command files with font sizes that suit my
needs. By copying these and renaming I can continue to work with
fonts that I like. It also seems to work if I start a new file in
notepad and set the font size there. I can then open this file in the
R editor and the font size will be retained. At the very least I
would like to be sure that work arounds like this remain possible in any new
releases.
