Well, you aren't going to get a colored prompt from within Emacs, but you
can set it up in your .bashrc so it is usable. I have this code in my .bashrc:
if [ "$EMACS" == "t" ]
then
export PS1="*** \@ *** \w ***\n\r"
else
export PS1="*** $LCYAN\@$WHITE *** $YELLOW\w$WHITE ***\n\r$NEUTRAL"
fi
So while it isn't colored, it gives me the info anyway.

I checked the man page just sent out, and noticed the Shift-Keyboard-+ and -
shortcut that steps through the various possible fonts. I'm not sure how
you find out *what* font is selected, but it seems to work.
