I don’t run Windows but I believe you can change the font color, etc.
from within the Notepad GUI in the View menu. Not sure…

You can, but I’d like to do it through a program automatically. That way
the
user doesn’t have to do it themself.

Are you sure you don’t want to render to HTML and pop up a browser
window? You’ll get much more control over the appearance that way. If
you change the settings for Notepad, you’ll have to change them
system-wide, as far as I know. Your users may not appreciate your doing
that for them.
