I have a feeling the two problems are related.  On my home computer, switching
to 47 lines per screen mode also switches to a very readable, smaller font.
This video mode comes in very handy in my C editor.  The solution I would offer
is the same as I have offered before.  Try upgrading your ROMs.  Should you
have any questions concerning this, feel free to contact me.  But a good place
to start would be your local retailer, or ZDS student representative if you are
on a campus.

I hope this helps...
