This is more of a request then a suggestion. Maybe there is a way to do this already? The computer I play on has a high resolution. I have to lean in to see the game. Is there any settings to increase the font/window size?

On windows, open up the Data folder, and edit the Fontdata file.  
The first number is height, and the second is width. It doesn’t look very pretty, but it works alright for now.

you can also use magnifier tool if you have Windows. it doesn’t look that good either, though…

Eh, you don’t. You have to download that font and change the font size in the FONTDATA file.

I found that site. Maybe I’m dense but the download didn’t seem to contain different size variants.

Almost all the fonts offered in DejaVu are pre-installed on Win7, just for the record. (apparently not :P)  
It’s more a matter of pointing Cata at the right one you want.

E: Personally though, I like Terminus for my ASCII. Something slightly blocky and bold.  
Now if only it scaled worth a damn.

humm… maybe they came with OpenOffice… I didn’t think it installed fonts for me, but that install was… almost 2 years ago now, so I could be wrong.

Ooor… maybe I picked up DejaVu somewhere else… _shrug_

You know, I’m a desktop support technician by profession. This font thing is bafflign me. The fonts I’m seeing in that pack look like standard fonts. If I put that font into the fonts folder and turn the numbers up, will the font actually scale like terminal isn’t or is there a file actually titled with a higher size?
