The problem is that DOS windows are a fixed number of characters
wide, not a fixed width. Thus if the font gets bigger so does the
window.

You can change the size of the window by altering the number of
characters displayed from the default of 80 to, say 90 or 100.
Then you can resize the window to reflect the change. This is
done through the properties dialog/layout tab.
