fixed.

i couldn't find this information anywhere on pages and pages of google searching, so i'm posting it here. now, everyone link ;)

how to fix the font for cmd.exe in fullscreen mode in windows xp/2k:

1. open up c:\windows\system32\autoexec.nt (c:\winnt in 2k).

2. put "mode con: lines=25" at the bottom of the file.

3. save the file.

and there. no registry hacking, no downloading of extra fonts necessary. just one line of text and you get normal, unsquished console font in fullscreen mode. yay!
