Generally, right-clicking on the title bar of a Windows command prompt window pops up a menu with a "Properties" item, which leads to dialog that has a "Font" tab. The "Consolas" fonts in that dialog can be set to a reasonably big size, and they can also be made bold to further improve readability (particularly if the projector isn't terribly bright).
