Window 95 tries its very best to pretend that console applications do not
exist, and to make their existence as difficult as possible. We will,
of course, eventually remedy this by issuing a full GUI version (yes, we
are STILL working on it).
You can force ALL console applications to use a particular font and size by
changing the properties of C:\WINDOWS\DOSPRMPT.PIF, but as far as we can
determine, there is no way to do this for any particular console application
regardless of how it is started. And of course, Windows 95 does not allow
the application itself to pick a font or window size, nor to exercise any
form of control over the window at all.
