Fontsize in Console Apps

[spliffmaster]

Hey, is there a way to change the font size in a console application to something like 8x8 px? I've tried SetCurrentConsoleFontEx but this won't work with Windows XP. I've also tried some googled stuff but didn't get it to work. I'm using Windows XP SP3 and CodeBlocks 8.02 with GNU GCC Compiler.
Any help is appreciated.

I'm not sure about coding to change the font size, but I know that if you right click the app, you can change font size and other stuff in there.

There is 1 problem, you can't change the font of the console unless you use the SetCurrentConsoleFontEx().... But as far as i know it works with Windows XP

I think you need to do this before:

#ifndef _WIN32_WINNT
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0500
#endif /*_WIN32_WINNT*/ 

into a header file and include it then build up your font template and use it with the function SetCurrentConsoleFontEx()

Well, I have tried it like this:

#ifndef _WIN32_WINNT
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0500
#endif /*_WIN32_WINNT*/

#include <windows.h>

typedef struct _CONSOLE_FONT_INFOEX {
  ULONG cbSize;
  DWORD nFont;
  COORD dwFontSize;
  UINT  FontFamily;
  UINT  FontWeight;
  WCHAR FaceName[LF_FACESIZE];
}CONSOLE_FONT_INFOEX, *PCONSOLE_FONT_INFOEX;

PCONSOLE_FONT_INFOEX testFont;

int main()
{
    HANDLE OutputH;

    OutputH = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);

    testFont->dwFontSize.X = 10;
    testFont->dwFontSize.Y = 20;

    SetCurrentConsoleFontEx(OutputH, TRUE, testFont);

    return 0;
}

But it doesn't work. I'll get this error when I try to compile:

\Desktop\test.cpp||In function `int main()':|
\Desktop\test.cpp|27|error: `SetCurrentConsoleFontEx' was not declared in this scope|
||=== Build finished: 1 errors, 0 warnings ===|

Altough I have defined "_WIN32_WINNT 0x0500". Could it be my compiler?
