  • Your Windows build number: (Type ver at a Windows Command Prompt)
    Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17128.1] (Swedish). I use most updated (using apt-get update and dist-upgrade) Ubuntu from Store.

  • What you're doing and what's happening: (Copy & paste specific commands and their output, or include screen shots)
    wsltty9cmdexe14
    WSLtty version 1.8.4 has font size 9 pt and Cmd.exe has font size 14, but they look the same size on screen.

  • What's wrong / what should be happening instead:
    I don't know if WSLtty or Cmd.exe is right about font sizes, but I think a font size in points should be the same on screen in different programs.
