    changing dos font with dos code

    I want to change the font type of just one batch file but leave all others alone. Is there some dos code that just changes the one window for the time its open(like the color code for dos)?

    Hey man re-phrase your question please
    NO one on this planet can understand what do you meant by "change the font type of just one batch file"
    or support with some example if you are not able to phrase it properly.

    Do you mean any of a,b,c or d below?

    a . the font of the display on cmd window while batch file is getting executed?
    b. the font of script (commands inside the batch file) ?
    c. When you run DIR command your batch file name should apear in diff FONT
    d. or some thing else which I can not guess

      Sorry about the wording. I meant option.A changing the font in cmd while it executes? Is that possible? Main reason is i want to change the font size to somthing smaller because im experimenting with ASCII style images and they turn out better at a smaller font.

        maintain a separate .LNK file for your command line application or for CMD.exe or a .BAT file. In that you can configure FONT and LAYOUT properties to make the output customised upto some extents, while using you have to make sure u will call the .LNK file only and not cmd.exe directly when u want to see that font size in ur cmd out put.

        if you are not aware of .LNK files, pls know its the "shortcut" that you created.

        to make the same with batch file create a shortcut for ur bat file and edit Font and layout properties as per ur needs.

        You can call same cmd.exe or xyz.bat file using diff-diff .lnk files to see diff size or manner of output on BLACK cmd prompt window it opens.
