I use glasses for presbyopia, and can read all other panes, but often have to open R for help, because of its bigger font size, although I find it inconvenient.
I haven't found any answer in support.rstudio.com ; somebody else asked this same question in 2014.
I am using a MacBook Air with macOS Sierra 10.12.1, RStudio 1.0.44 and R 3.3.2
Thanks!
Open "...\RStudio\resources\R.css" file in your RStudio installation folder with a text editor. In the beginning of the file you will see:
body, td {
font-family: sans-serif;
font-size: 10pt;
}
That is the setting you are looking for. Change font-size to anything you want.
I don't think you can specifically resize the help window font size in the way you can with the other windows. You can resize the whole of RStudio using View -> Zoom In or else Tools -> Global Options -> Appearance and change the Zoom there. Both of these will resize everything in R Studio so you may want to readjust your font size afterwards if you'd previously increased it.
