Changing font in console Vim

Question

I need to change the size of the font inside the terminal Vim (not GUI Vim!). I am working on Windows, what kind of command can I use (I'll map it to a key after that). I do not want to go and change the properties of the console window manually, I need a command that can quickly increment/decrement such values.

Edit after acceptance: I ended up going to gVim

Answer 1

There is no command in Windows for switching console fonts. The best you can do is write your own program which does that. Here's sample code that may help: http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/pavely/archive/2009/07/23/changing-console-fonts.aspx

Answer 2

You may turn to Console Emulator (I'm the author of ConEmu). One of its features - changing font size by hotkey or Ctrl+Wheel (by default). It works on any Windows starting from Windows 2000.

Answer 3

I used Console2 on Windows; it's a lot friendlier than cmd.exe, and allows changing the font and font size as well as resizing the window and some other niceties.
