How can I change the text size in console apps?

You can't.

I thought so, but I just wanted to ask anyway...

Code:

char esc = 27;
printf("%d%s", esc, "[2J");  /* clear the screen */
printf("%d%s", esc, "[1;1H"); /* cursor to row 1 col 1 */

You can use ansi cursor and text manipulation commands in the "DOS" window.

duh.

which means you can use double-height, double-width text, and so on.
