More Fonts for the Windows Command Prompt

I dont know but we can’t just forget Command Prompt Can we ? Have you ever noticed that there are only two fonts to choose from in the Command prompt properties window? What you might not know is that you can use a simple registry hack to enable alternate fonts, including a very readable font that comes with Vista and Office 2007.

But that’s not all… you can enable a number of fixed width fonts if you really want to. We’ll cover how this works, as well as one of my favorite "interesting" fonts for the command prompt.

Changing the Default Command Prompt Font

To change the font, you’ll want to right-click on the title bar and choose Properties from the menu. If you want to set the defaults for all command prompt windows you can choose the Defaults option instead.
