The question has been discussed many times.
- content is not separated from visualization
- the html is messy, and it's not at all standard
But
- the actual implementation is mainly mac-centric. 
- works pretty well on mac (it is integrated in the mac app), and still SC users tends to be on mac
- all the help files, in case of a new format, should be converted. No, they are not consistent (I've parsed them all once)

I would say that there's not a tech solution, there could be many different political solutions .

I'm getting conviced of what Thor once said. 
It would be really important to have, like in PD, a standard GUI manager, completely portable, providing Document and GUI facilities for all platform, and thus integrating help files.
But of course in a do-cracy like SC one should start doing something before complaining, and I'm not able to do that sort of things...

Ps: in any case on a mac the Helper classes works fine. They worked better before I tried to make them more linux-friendly. But this has been discussed too

It would be nice if we could separate the content from the designs of the help files(i.e. like it is done with cascading style sheets). Since the help files have a visual standard(I'm not sure if it is reflected in code though) maybe this can be automated.  It is not  a must have feature but would be nice and writing new help files would become easier I think. I will look into the possibilities and report back.

Hi,

That makes sense now... I suppose what I really need is the ability to increase the font size without effecting the formating of the help files. Something akin to pressing Cmd + two or three times.
Thanks!

Hi,
help files are *.html files and they are explicitly excluded within your initAction. Remove the check for html files and it will change all files:

Document.initAction_{|doc| doc.font_(Font("Andale Mono", 12))};

You could edit your startup.rtf file (~/Application Support/SuperCollider/startup.rtf) .

// post win font
Document.listener.font_(Font("Andale Mono", 10));
Document.listener.background_(Color.new255(190,190,190));

// use the default font on the help files
Document.initAction_({
        |doc|
        if(doc.path.notNil,               {if("html".matchRegexp(doc.path),
                {},
                {doc.font_(Font("Andale Mono", 12))}

First I want to say thanks for the tip. Stephen's startup file does a good job of changing the font of the post window and any new windows I create but it does not effect my help files. If I execute the code directly it completes without errors but it does not apply changes to any of the help files which would be great. I tried searching the archives and google with no results and I also tried using the code on two different OS X systems. Any suggestions?
Peace
Patrick
