Changing font size of Rcmdr (Linux)

3 messages · John Fox, Paul Smith

Dear All,

I have Rcmdr installed on a machine running Fedora 8 (Linux). It works
fine, but I find the fonts of the Script window and of Output window
very small. How can one increase the size of the font use on those
windows?

Thanks in advance,

Paul

Dear Paul,

You can change fonts and font sizes via Rcmdr options, as explained in
?Commander (also accessible via the R Commander "Help -> Commander help"
menu). For example, 

options(Rcmdr=list(default.font="*helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-20*",
log.font.size=20))

would change both the GUI elements and text input and output to 20-point
(from the default 12).

I hope this helps,
 John
