Hi everyone,

One thing that we saw when we followed the "windows console" solution, is
that we were unable to change the font size to display well if the
instructor used the same solution.  We wanted to recreate the environment of
our learners (who were all on Windows) exactly as instructors, but the small
font proved a challenge.  Maybe there actually is a way to change the font
in this setup?

Thanks,
Anelda

Thanks everyone for the quick solution. 

I had seen the "windows console" instructions online but had initially
avoided it, thinking it would set up some kind of hybrid DOS/bash prompt
window. I'll give it a try.

Regards,
Steve

The resolution to the problem has been merged into the default setup
instructions for workshops. It worked well for the recent workshop I ran.
Here's the link to the generic workshop template site:
