Harry has addressed the simple Numlock issue, but the rest of it is
really just a matter of playing with the line spacing and screen
layouts (letting and kerning) under the view menu. Play with those
fonts, as well, and try them in bold if the lines seems too thin. I
bought a new font from Fontcraft, their courier, which I run in bold
in the console; bold give me a normal weight line that's consistent
top to bottom in the 23-line text window. The key is to experiment
with both settings and fonts.
