Not sure if this is a known issue but just reporting anyway. You can change the font size of the Max Console fine but when reloading this font size is not retained. The settings stores the size you picked but it isn't reflected in the console display. You have to change the font size again to get it to show.

Support told me the other day that it's a known issue.

console adapts immediately to new set font and size.

But - even last max version ignores font size

one can loadbang fontsize message as a workarround ...

messages :
;
max maxwindow_fontname Monaco

;
max maxwindow_fontsize 10

at least in last - 8.3.1 max version
console adapts immediately to new set font and size.
was not so in earlier versions.
But - even last max version ignores font size
set in preferences.

How exactly would one do this? Do you send this to [thispatcher]?

It's not a huge bug obviously just something I've noticed. I work from a laptop connected to a bigger screen and the patcher I'm working on right now crashes every now and then when I get too ambitious. Going back to preferences to change the console text size so I can actually read it is just a very minor annoyance.

OMG, I can finally change the font size in Max 4 Live. This is a such a relief!!!

Is there somewhere or way we can see a list of all the attributes one can change with the "; max" messages?

There are this doc pages titled "controlling max with messages"

but they are not complete, I mean one can do more than is listed there,

only thing being as with all other undocumented max features - they might stop

Open maxpreferences file in text editor, you will find 

many attributes that can be used by sending them as messages to max.

for example jed_fontname and jed_fontsize set font type and size for coll and textedit.
