I am using the R Tools for Visual Studio (RTVS) IDE. I want to increase the font size in the R Help window. For example, if you have RTVS installed in your Visual Studio, loading "Data science settings" from the R Tools menu and entering ?mean() into the R interactive console will bring up an R Help window displaying the R documentation for the mean function.

However, the font is too small. I know how to change the font size in other windows of the IDE:

R Tools > Options > Environment > Fonts and Colors > Show Settings for:

But, unless I'm mistaken, I've tried every option in the "Show Settings for:" drop-down menu and none of them increased the font size in the R Help window.

Please try ctrl + scroll wheel, that works fine for me. The ctrl + "-/+" once worked but it seems they are forbidden in the new version of RTVS.

  • Both `ctrl + scroll` and `ctrl + -/+/=` worked. Thanks! – coip Jan 29 '18 at 15:53

    @coip I‘m glad it helps. Actually that's one of the reasons that pushed me from RStudio to RTVS -- I can't set different fonts for the editor and help in RStudio! – R. Zhu Jan 30 '18 at 10:39
