Dear R development  Team
I am a long time user of R with a distinctly poor vision.  I have been using the standard R interface for many years and am comfortable with it except for one minor detail.  There seems to be no way to change the font in the standard R editor.  I think that this used to be possible and would like it to be brought back in future releases.  At the moment I have many R command files with font sizes that suit my needs.  By copying these and renaming I can continue to work with fonts that I like.  It also seems to work if I start a new file in notepad and set the font size there.  I can then open this file in the R editor and the font size will be retained.  At the very least I would like to be sure that work arounds like this remain possible in any new releases.
Best
John Warner
