I use windows, so I can't state that the same is true of other operating 
systems.

There is a file which is in the etc folder of the R directory called Rconsole. 

part of mine looks like

## Font.
# Please use only fixed width font.
# If font=FixedFont the system fixed font is used; in this case
# points and style are ignored. If font begins with "TT ", only
# True Type fonts are searched for.
font = TT Courier New
points = 10
style = normal # Style can be normal, bold, italic


Just change it.

In the windows GUI, under Edit you can make these changes and save the 
resulting Rconsole file. There may be some difficulties if you do not have 
write access to this directory. 

There are a number of places where Rconsole can live depending upon whether or 
not you wish to have a local or global effect. ?Rconsole gives you more 
information
