    Changing font

    Is there any way you can change the font that is outputted in the console window?

    You can get the font size and type with GetConsoleFontInfo (I think) in Windows, but I'm not sure if you can change it. Check MSDN for the exact function name and structure that it returns, I think it's CONSOLE_FONT_INFO.
    p.s. What the alphabet would look like without q and r.

    Bump! Any other info from anyone?

    I looked on MSDN but didn't find a language reference for C!

    There are some registry hacks that work on some OS versions, sometimes, look under HKEY_CURRENT_USER->Console.
