Font size issues: size difference with Windows Console

Hello, I am trying different font sizes, and I realize MUSHclient outputs fonts differently than the standard Windows Console (cmd, PowerShell, WSL, etc.).

Here is Consolas 16px (console) vs Consolas 10pt (MUSHclient):

And here is Consolas 16px (console) vs Consolas 11pt (MUSHclient): https://i.imgur.com/g6lzCI1.png

I would like to make both programs match in terms of font size. I have tried using decimals on the "size" field, but unfortunately it only accepts integers. I believe this has to do with MUSHclient using points instead of pixels for font sizes. I suspect I could use raster fonts to fix this issue, but I would rather use fonts with antialiasing.

Thank you for your help.

Something is off about your description.

If the problem is the gaps between the lines, there is a "line spacing" option in the world configuration -> Appearance -> Output pane, where you can configure the distance between lines.

Thanks, corrected in the OP. Issue is 10pt being too small, yet 11pt being too large.


Alright -- not exactly what I was looking for, as the font sizes are still unequal, but it does get me closer. I set the line spacing to 16px to match the console, and here is what it looks like: https://i.imgur.com/rhQbd5Z.png

Problem partly solved, MacGyver style -- I followed Nick's above suggestion to make the line spacing match the console's, then used open source program FontForge (https://fontforge.org/en-US/) to size down the font to 85%.

I would suggest having an option to output fonts in px as well as pt, if that's possible! Thank you all for the help.

Points have been the standard unit for decades.
