It's not impossible, it just requires that VersaTerm be properly written,
which it isn't, like all other Mac terminal programs, except Dumb Virtue,
which never really left beta.  As it is, 12 point and 9 point seem to be
hard-coded, as if it were written for an IBM-PC.

Actually Acknowledge does, there are pop-up font and size menus in the 
'view control' window (under the apple menu) there are also bold/underline/
shadow etc check boxes in the same window. They ship with a nice fixed width
font called 'TeleCom' which you get as the default, but if you want to use
Zapf Dingbats it's your choice ....

There are font resourses in VersaTerm itself. It shouldn't be too hard
to fool VersaTerm into thinking that a 14 pt. font was realy a 12 pt.
