How can I get a 1:1 sized font?
Since you're already working in C#, there's a library called SadConsole that does this. It relies on either MonoGame or SFML to actually render to the screen, though. If you're not using either of those, the source may give you some ideas on how to implement such a grid of tiles yourself. There are of course other libraries that do this, but SadConsole is the first that I could remember in C#.

Is there a way to learn how to use SadConsole?
The process I am using for learning version 9 is to download, run and modify the sample projects. It's a brute force approach, but I am already pretty comfortable with C# and Visual Studio.

Some high-level noob questions
Familiar with C#? My friend, may I point you towards a rendering library called SadConsole and a framework specifically for creating RogueLikes called GoRogue. They are lacking in tutorials (SadConsole recently had a major version change, and GoRogue is soon to follow suit), but they've got a discord community where people are really helpful.

I'm personally using SadConsole, not sure if it would fit your needs exactly, but it's open source.

Theme is archived, but I wanna mention for future developers, that best way to use GoRogue with Unity is to import source code of GoRogue itself from this this folder, and dependencies DLLs from corresponding Release / 'MinimalDependencies'-archive, from here
