Change Chat Font Size and number of lines visible?

I would like to limit the chat window to only show 4 lines of text at a time and to remain up at all times with those four lines. I would also like to make the font size a bit larger. If the current font is size 8, i would want size 10 or maybe 12 depending on how it looks. Any idea how to do this?

and you might wanna change the scroll from 6 lines to 4 lines at a time as i remember reading it from some file
edit:
you can change them from prefs.cs in the meantime, i'll see how to make them 4 lines and reduce the scroll

Code: 
$Pref::Hud::ChatFontSize = 16;
$Pref::player::ChatAutohideLineTimeout = 8;
$Pref::player::ChatAutohideMinLineDelay = 2;

edit2:
i found where i read the scroll thing
it's in the config.cs file
Code: 
MoveMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "pageup", "scrollChat(6);", "");
MoveMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "pagedown", "scrollChad(-6);", "");

ok, now it's time for someone who is not me to make a script

That's the keybind to scroll the chat up, not how many messages are visible. I am also trying to find how to reduce the height of the chat frame and how many messages are displayed. Could be something in Chat.cs but I have no clue how to interpret anything in that script.

Rocky?

you have to delete the old prefs.cs.dso, otherwise it will have no effect whatsoever.
Setting prefs.cs to read-only does nothing except inconvenience yourself.

Bottom line: Delete prefs.cs.dso each time you change prefs.cs.
