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.
John:
You mention notepad, so I assume you're working on Windows. But there
are several possible editors you could be using there. Are you running
Rgui.exe and using the built in editor? Or RStudio? Or something else?
I'm not on Windows, so I can't recommend the best editor to use, but
there are multiple choices possible.
