I'm trying to do something pretty basic here. I just want to make the font of my code larger so I can see it better. How do I do that?
Thanks!
Edit (Dreamweaver on Mac) -> Preferences, Fonts
In DreamWeaver CS6 Option are changed, On the left hand top side on the screen
Dreamweaver > Preference > Fonts > Code view
This image display where to change fonts..
On Windows you can use Ctrl+= to increase font size and Ctrl+- to decrease the font size.
In CS5 most importantly on Windows the preference option is under the edit menu. Where font category contains the option of code view font size. Its normally 9px. You can change it as you want.

This is not a question about changing the font size in graphs produced using RStudio. I already know how to do that.
I use RStudio under Linux on a MacBook Pro with a 'retina' display. I use KDE as my window manager. I can (and do) enlarge the default font size in the user interface of other programs in KDE. I increase the font size for the user interface in Firefox and Thunderbird using program specific tools.
How do I increase the font size in the user interface - not the console, which is easy [Options -> Appearance -> font size], but, for example, the help text, the keyboard shortcuts list, and so on. At the moment I find these very hard to read. I've fiddled with everything I can fiddle with, but had no joy.
All help gratefully appreciated!
As some people pointed out, by clicking the ctrl & + together, you can enlarge the font size for everything including for the console & code script. (You will have to do it with a help page pop up as suggested by user3619015.) Then go to the global option and resize the fonts. That changes the font size for everything except the help page. So you will have larger fonts for the help page but everything else in your normal preferred font size.
On a Mac you can do it by going to: view -> actual size or just with the key combo: cmd+= (not cmd++) to zoom in (bigger), cmd+- or zoom out or cmd+0 (zero) to go back to the actual size.
Rstudio doesn't support changing fonts yet, at least for Linux server. However, one can change fonts in browser for a specific page. At least in chrome, you can customize fonts using an extension called font changer. I think it is packed with all GNU free fonts for legal issues. But, since you have the font files in the OS, like consolas, you can practically change to whatever font and size you like. Just play with it.
I had the same problem here using a MacBook Pro although not with KDE, but you could try on the menu of RStudio:
View -> Actual size
After a couple of days struggling to read the help, this worked: increased the size of letters in all windows of RStudio.
Help, Files, Packages can be opened in a new browser window where zoom in and out options are possible. Even a selected specific package can be opened in a new window for clear view
While this is quite an old question, you can now also change your font size under Linux like that:
Tools -> Global Options... -> Appearance -> Editor font size
Here's how I got around the problem:
Simply copy and paste into your word processor or text editor. Text will be pasted in the default text.
I'm using Windows 8.1, Office 2013 and R 64 bit. Not optimal but it works.
We use custom icon font (inhouse font generated to icons with icomoon, or something similiar) in our webapp. I can set their size with font-size css property. but sometimes I need to adjust more proprties: for example increase the width or the height of the icon/font etc. Is there a way to do this with css/js?
I'll be glad for help with this, generating a specific font for each mini used isn't a path I would like to choose
font-stretch was supposed to do that but is not included in any current css standard and not supported by any browsers. I think you will have to create seperate icons for that case, sorry.
I did a Google Search trying to find the appropriate css descriptors, and stumbled upon this thread. Maybe it may help: Is it possible to change the font height, not just the line-height?
Is it normal that fonts I used to create site layout are pixelated? I use Georgia, and in photoshop I've smooth lines everything looks great. But when I tried to slice it up and code the css, Georgia font same size looks noticeably uglier!
What are your thoughts?
p.s. I use em to declare sizes in css.
That's because photoshop is using anti-alias technique on text.
Both OS and browser will impact the appearance of text in web page.For example, Mac OS has anti-alias text on all system UI. For windows, I believe they have an option called 'ClearType', once switched on all system UI will have smooth texts.
All fonts on the web will look a little pixellated unless you're on a Mac which renders type considerably better than PC.
The best way I have found to replicate how a font will look on the web is to set the Anitialiasing in Photoshop to 'sharp'.
It is conceivable that there will be CSS markup in the future that will allow antialiasing in the browser rather than OS based.
It is a common problem.

The alternative is to use something like Cufon that generates images for your text. Best practice would be to only use it for headings.

I've found this too - each browser renders fonts differently. I often find fonts look much better in IE. Sometimes I opt to use images created in PS to get that smooth look, but for the most part I think people are used to how fonts are rendered in their browser of choice.
In photoshop, there's an option to "smooth" text.
See this image. Bottom right corner.
Remove this anti-alising to have a better view (but not exact) of how the font will look in browser.
I want to style some fonts in my css using the style- sharp found in Photoshop. Does anyone know the way?
Photoshop uses a custom font rendering engine which you won't be able to emulate using CSS. Furthermore, each platform has its own rendering engine which CSS cannot control.
For WebKit there is -webkit-font-smoothing but what it does is a far cry from what you're looking for.
No luck I'm afraid. The only way I know of (perhaps someone knows otherwise) to achieve this is to save the text in question as an image. Fine for headings etc., but not for body text.
The "sharpness" of a font is usually a thing of the font renderer which is part of the operating system. You should check the font settings. In Windows, for example, try turning off ClearType.
I'm afraid it's a browser/os combination that decides how your fonts are anti-aliased. Nothing you can do about it, except save the Photoshop output as an image, set it as a background for whichever container your text appears in and apply a negative text indent on it via css.
There is solution for font smoothing.
You can use cufon.js to render your font sharply & smoothly. This js renders your text as a cufon and if you right click on it it shows image. You can use this for heading.
on both pages,the font-size is 10pt,
but on one page the font size looks obviously bigger than on the other page,
what can be the reason for this?
It's most certainly not 10pt then. Or, the page is zoomed. (View -> Zoom -> Reset, in firefox).
Note that CSS takes the most-specific selector (or the one with '!important'), so make sure you don't have something else overriding it.
The pt unit is only intended for print.
Are you sure you don't have one page defined as 'px' and the other 'pt'?
You should install web developer toolbar - it will tell you the actually font size with the 'Display element information' option in the 'information' menu.
