cmd.exe will not accept font size
Running cmd.exe straight from the run dialog I can change background color with either "Defaults" or "Properties." However, changing the font size has no effect. I changed the font to Consolas but can't get it beyond tiny. Also, both of the commands produce an error message: "Point size shouold be between 5 and 72." After clicking ok several times the error message stops and the settings window appears. After selecting a size (14 pt) and exiting the routine, there is no change in the font and the same sequence will take place again if I try to adjust the font.
This has happened through several versions of Win 10. Presently using 14931. Is there a bug in cmd.exe? Is there a later version that can be downloaded?
Oh, and what's the difference between "Defaults" and "Properties"?
. . . I made a shortcut to cmd.exe, which allows me to change parameters. These changes stick, probably because they are applied each time the program is started. This led me to believe that there are command line parameters for cmd.exe and, after running help, sure enough, there they are. So in a way my problem is abated. But I'd still like to know why Cmd.exe won't change its font size from within.
