How to programmatically change the command window text size?

It is of course possible to change the command window's text size by setting preferences, using the GUI. Is there a way to do the same programmatically by executing a MATLAB command or script? That would be much more convenient (I am calling MATLAB through engOpen() from C). At the moment MATLAB is using a 6-pixel font on my hi-dpi monitor (3840x2160), which is really inconvenient. The console has a menu bar, but it offers none of the functionality a normal OS cmd window has.

s = settings;
s.matlab.fonts.codefont.Size.PersonalValue = 16;

@marcel hendrix, it seems to work fine. Here's the difference you can notice if the change in fontsize settings is done from 10 to 16

In that case, you might want to try saving a pre-set settings to a folder and re-load it.
