How do I install Fira Code to R-Studio on Windows?

According to the R-Studio blog, R-Studio 1.1+ now supports ligatures.

I installed R-Studio version 1.1.442 on Windows.

According to the R-Studio blog, and the Fira Code project instructions, I should be able to select Fira as follows:

  • Go to Tools > Global Options > Appearance
  • Select "Fira Code" as Editor Font, and check "Use Ligatures".
  • Hit "OK" and enjoy

I do not have the ability to select 'Fira Code.'

I downloaded the most recent Fira Code release, and noticed a TTF folder in the zip.

Solution

  • I hope you still find this helpful. Try installing the .otf files instead.

    Try restarting Rstudio, or if that does not work, try restarting your computer. Fira Code should now appear as an option in Editor Font.
