i mean if i give like this
echo "Hello welcome " > sample.txt
it will re direct with default font size....
now i want to redirect with larger font size (customised) to the file....
Simple text files (as would be created by your example) do not have any font size. You can set the font size in some of the editors you might use to view such files, though.
1. Plain ASCII text does NOT store fonts or font sizes, it is just a string of bytes (numbers), each number representing a certain character. The font size you see when viewing it is just the size set in your viewing program, it isn't stored in the file.
2. The terminal is NOT like a word processor: it is just a matrix of preset-sized, evenly-spaced cells, each of which can display a character.
If you want bigger fonts, change the settings of your terminal.
If you are still interested, it is possible to set the text color and even make it bold in the terminal by sending the terminal special codes. (but remember, the characters are represented as a fixed-cell-size grid, so it is physically impossible to change the size).
