How to Change the Font Size of the R Help Window in R Tools for Visual Studio (RTVS)?


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.


Solution

  • 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.
