I am a font geek and I just love the Consolas font. I started using Consolas in Visual Studio and now I want it in more places. So I sat out on a mission to get Consolas into my Command Prompt.

Here’s how:

1. Get Consolas Font Pack and install it
2. Crank up regedit and browse to HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Console\TrueTypeFont
3. Add a string value named “00”
4. Add “Consolas” as value
   
5. Restart your computer

And voila, consolas in the command prompt:
