Modify font size when print out to screen

Question

I\'m using Win XP and Python 2.5. Is there a way in Python to modify font size when print to CMD window?

Answer 1

No, you can't change that, as far as I know. Luckly, nobody on windows uses the console anyway, so I advise you to move to a GUI library instead.

With your own GUI window, you can configure the font and layout as much as you want, include buttons, images, animations, menus, etc...

Answer 2

You can use ctypes to access the necessary windows calls to change the font (including the size of the font) of the console. See my answer to another question for a code example.

Answer 3

You should create a desktop link to cmd.exe and set/change the layout properties (e.g. to window size 120*40 or appropriate). Start your program in this console windows (python.exe yourprogram.py).
