title: Python - Increase size of specific console output
body: <p>Working on a program for school. Finished the required part, now I'm just doing stuff for fun.</p>
  
  <p>Basically you have to write a program which randomly draws a card from a deck, and then prints out the face value and suit. Easy -- took me like 5 minutes.</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to add a visual aspect to the assignment, using Unicode characters. I found <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playing_cards_in_Unicode" rel="nofollow noreferrer">these</a>, and have written a bit of code to select the correct Unicode character given the card and suit. The only issue is that when the character is printed out, <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/NFZfd.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">it's tiny</a>. It's <em>maybe</em> two millimeters tall on my screen, which is nowhere near big enough to see the face of the card.</p>
  
  <p>I've been searching for hours for some way of increasing the size of the output, to no avail. I found this snippet of code in my searching, but it doesn't seem to do anything (I am on Windows 10 Pro, by the way).</p>
  
  <pre><code>import ctypes
  
  LF_FACESIZE = 32
  STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE = -11
  
  class COORD(ctypes.Structure):
      _fields_ = [("X", ctypes.c_short), ("Y", ctypes.c_short)]
  
  class CONSOLE_FONT_INFOEX(ctypes.Structure):
      _fields_ = [("cbSize", ctypes.c_ulong),
                  ("nFont", ctypes.c_ulong),
                  ("dwFontSize", COORD),
                  ("FontFamily", ctypes.c_uint),
                  ("FontWeight", ctypes.c_uint),
                  ("FaceName", ctypes.c_wchar * LF_FACESIZE)]
  
  font = CONSOLE_FONT_INFOEX()
  font.cbSize = ctypes.sizeof(CONSOLE_FONT_INFOEX)
  font.nFont = 12
  font.dwFontSize.X = 11
  font.dwFontSize.Y = 18
  font.FontFamily = 54
  font.FontWeight = 400
  font.FaceName = "Lucida Console"
  
  handle = ctypes.windll.kernel32.GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE)
  ctypes.windll.kernel32.SetCurrentConsoleFontEx(
          handle, ctypes.c_long(False), ctypes.pointer(font))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I was wondering if anyone had any insight or ideas on how I could go about making the characters larger. I've tried using a Turtle to draw the characters, but unfortunately it doesn't support the characters I want to use. </p>
