The stdlib function system would be the simplest way. system("string"); sends string as an argument to the shell. In Windows NT/2000/XP, the command color changes the background and/or foreground (text) colors. It follows hex notation. Use this chart.
For font, I don't know how to affect that from the shell. I've only seen two fonts in a Windows console (the old raster version and the newer smooth one). Regardless, a registry value should hold it, so you might have to run a batch file.

use include conio.h for background color use the function bgcolor() I use to pass a number in the function. I was never really sure what color you get for what int. for font color use textcolor() and pass an int in the () like in bgcolor. the color is only used for functions in conio.h so for print f use cprintf. look up the functions in conio.h
