When you start your kvm/qemu emulator with "-net nic -net user" you get
a local IP address such as 10.30.2.16 (x.x.x.16-31). In this instance
the host would be assigned 10.30.2.2 (x.x.x.2). You can use these local
addresses for transfering data locally. If you want to get your kvm/qemu
system to talk to the rest of the world you should be able to do that (the
default route should be set via your internal host address, 10.30.2.2)
and the host will NAT outbound connections. Use the -redir option to
map specific ports on your host back to the guest. Or read up on the
options for the kvm/qemu to handle bridging.

Particularly, note that the guest will not necessarily be able to
see your 192.168.2.* systems (including that IP address on your host)
without a route set via the guest-facing IP address of your host.

I'm not aware of any way of doing this.

There should be an option in the guest to configure its console font
characteristics. (But I can't help you futher on this one.)
