This is pretty commonplace, as R questions come up, but I would like to specify the font in my console R. This is easy to do on Windows - John Cook has a great little note on this.
However, this is typical of the graphical interface of Windows R. I cannot find a way to do this (at least from R) on RStudio, Linux, etc. Is there a global, platform agnostic solution? If not, what would you need to wrap to make this possible, given the individual terms for the platform?
Or is this impracticable?
Please note that I am interested in the font family, not the font size, although suggestions for font size are welcome.
Edit: I plan to apply this inside the program, if possible. Since R can make calls to the shell, I am pleased with the two-pass method, which first configures external files in preparation for the next call to R, if necessary.
