Thread: Dynamically changing the size of the font in a console window

For a project I'm working, we're trying to get the smallest possible font size in the Windows console window.

I'm pretty sure that this has something to do with the kernel, and might be operating system specific, but is there any way to get in there and set the font size of the console manually? IE 2x2 or 1x1 font

I understand if nobody knows anything about this, it's weird and probably seems pointless. However if you can help, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

SetCurrentConsoleFontEx will change it. The lowest sized fonts you can get are the ones listed in the properties window, so about 4x6 for raster and 5 point for the other. Note that the console window scales by the font size, changing it won't change the fact that you can only have 80 characters on a line, and 25 lines before scrolling. Those dimensions are changed by SetConsoleScreenBufferSize and SetConsoleWindowInfo
