Font size with print?

-----------------------------------

Hello
my apologies for making so many threads in this forum >.>

I'd like to change the font size that the 'print' command uses - is this possible? I could change it once for every line, or it could be a uniform increase - it just needs to be larger. I've tried to Google for the answer, however all of the results seemed to require attachments for programming for cell phones. The Python documentation, too, doesn't seem to have my answer. 

I'm using Python 3.1.

doesn't print send text to STDOUT?

Not entirely sure what you mean by that...? print("Hi") displays the word 'Hi' on a text window, it doesn't literally print it or anything.

Yes, it does. http://docs.python.org/reference/simple_stmts.html#print

print evaluates each expression in turn and writes the resulting object to standard output

If the standard output happens to be a terminal, you can configure that to have larger fonts; but that's up to an individual user.

I think he means print in the ink-and-paper sense.

print doesn't support that kind of thing. If it's absolutely essential (and is it really?), you'll need a graphics/UI library like PyGame or PyGTK.

Yes, I meant print like printing with a printer...

but thank you, Tony, I didn't actually know that the Windows Command Prompt could have the font resized... >3>
