Powershell is opening with extremely small font (about 5 pts). When I go to Defaults > Font, the setting is a reasonable 8 x 12 pixels but that is not what is showing on the screen. I try changing some of these settings, but there is no change. When it first opens it appears for a split second at the expected size and then shrinks into the top left corner.
This appears to be a bug.
I am aware of this question regarding certain fonts requiring certain font sizes. Recommendations in answers to that question have been attempted with no success. This is a different problem.
OS: Windows 8.1
Powershell opened as Administrator.

Try changing the font from 'Properties > Font'.
You are probably opening PowerShell from a shortcut. Console shortcuts can have their properties set separately from the defaults. You can also right-click a shortcut, click properties, and change the font from there.
