Brian,

I tried the fonts you mentioned, they changed the EOF marker to a square.  While it's better than what it was I would prefer something a little smaller, preferably a period.  Thanks for the suggestions.

Or select a different font for your command prompt window. Make sure it's a fixed-width one with unambiguous characters for I vs l, 0 vs O etc.
I suggest Deja sans mono, https://dejavu-fonts.github.io/ or "input", https://input.djr.com/ or hack, https://sourcefoundry.org/hack/ or monoid, https://larsenwork.com/monoid/ Though Consolas is built-in and generally good enough.
