I don't know if there is a way to do it from the VM or from the OS, but 
this seems to do the trick:

./cogspur/squeak Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev/Cuis6.0-5772.image -d 'DisplayScreen 
hostOSWindowPosition: 0 at 0; hostOSWindowExtent: 1280 at 740'

What we are doing here is to ask Cuis to run a Smalltalk script to 
position and resize the main OS window. Another possibility would be to 
"maximize" it using the mouse.

Hilaire has already answered this.

Right. That font can not be used for regular code. But it can be used 
(for example) for
     UnicodeString demoAncientEgyptian.
