You often can't.  NetTerm, for example, has one one terminal font that
is reasonably readable, and -- at least in older releases -- it is fixed
size, not scalable... and the largest size is *way* too small.

Indeed.

FWIW, later releases of PuTTY provide the option, on Maximize, to *either*
scale the window or scale the font.  Since filepro *still* doesn't support
oversize screen layouts, the latter is critically more useful.
