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 Tom

I've checked the faq's, the manual, and the help system as best I can, and I don't see how to change the font size. Can it be changed from within a session, or will I have to ask the folks who installed the program on the server I use in classes to set it (assuming that can be done)? Thanks for any help.
