Adding Fonts to Command Line (cmd.exe)

The properties on a CMD.EXE window allow you to select either Raster Fonts or Lucida Console. By editing a Registry, you can add other monospace fonts.

Start Regedit and navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Console\TrueTypeFont

Notice that Lucida Console is already under this key with a name of "0".

Add a new sting value with the name "00" (that's the required name) and set the data to the name of a monospace font already installed in your C:\Windows\Fonts folder. In this example, added the Consolas font. It seems that additional entries require names "000", "0000", etc. Names like "1" and "2" don't work.

Open up a new cmd window (Start > RUN > CMD.EXE), right-click on the system menu, select Properties | Font and there is the newly added font.
