Hello,
Sorry, I realize this is not *nix related but it's shell related so that's gotta count for sumpin, right? :)
I want to increase the font size of the command prompt shell from within a batch file. Does anyone know the command for that?
My googling hasn't returned any useful results. :(

Click the top left - the console icon. Properties. Then font.

:) no prob. Ya, I know how to do it through the GUI, but I will have no idea how many computers this script will be run on and I won't have physical access to them, that's why I want to do it in the batch script.

It's not easy; batch commands were devised in the days of MS-DOS, before Windows was invented. Batch commands are not oriented to graphics. You can change text colour with the command COLOR, but you can't change font size easily. One way is to change a registry key. Here is a discussion how to do it.

thanks. Ya I was looking into that too. I'm finding that it's a little tricker than expected, but I'll keep playing with it.
