Sorry, I misread the question. I thought you wanted to control the PowerShell windows.

As already mentioned you could set the LogPixels setting in the registry, to see what the current setting is, try this:

Get-Item -Path Registry::'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontDPI' | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Property

If the LogPixels key is there it will show, you can create it if it does not exist:

Set-Item -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontDPI\LogPixels'

NB: You have to run this with privileges that allow you to manipulate the registry.

There is a good introduction to this over at TechNet.
