Sam,
Thanks for responding.
There are two reasons: 1) virtual-manager is really slow on my system, PAINFULLY SLOW 2) I
recall reading somewhere (RedHat or
qemu.org) that virtual-manager was/is deprecated.
Best regards,
George...

I'm having some trouble with qemu and it's console for the

"new" behavior makes a console that is about 75% bigger than the physical
monitor. It's effectively unusable.
Here is the script I use to start qemu.
qemu-system-x86_64 \
-name fc34v \
-cdrom /isos/Fedora-Everything-netinst-x86_64-Rawhide-20210122.n.0.iso \

-boot menu=on,reboot-timeout=15
Is there a reason you're running qemu directly instead of using
something like virt-manager?
