While in my example, I stuck with the default font, many of you noticed that the Font tab on the Command Prompt Properties dialog box, shown in Figure A , contains two TrueType fonts and wondered if it is possible to add other fonts to the list.
Fortunately, the answer is yes; with a quick registry edit and the right type of font, you can add to the font list on the Command Prompt's Font tab. This technique will work in Windows XP, 7, and 8. Let's take a closer look. To begin with, it is important to understand that the fonts used in the Command Prompt, must be monospaced fonts.
In other words, the font's characters must all occupy the exact same amount of horizontal space. In addition to the monospaced criteria, Microsoft also specifies that the font for the Command Prompt:. If you look at the Font list shown in Figure A you can see that, by default, the Command Prompt is configured to a font type called the Raster Fonts. These fonts, which also go by the name Terminal, are a special type of font whose characters are made up of bitmap images.
Since all these images are the same width, Terminal is essentially a monospaced font. Because Raster Fonts are no longer viable, over the years, Microsoft created monospaced TrueType fonts that could be used in the Command Prompt. The first was Lucida Console which was followed later by Consolas.
At this point in time, these are the only monospaced TrueType fonts that come with Windows. All the other TrueType fonts that come with Windows are variable-width fonts, where the characters can all be different widths.
As such, you cannot use those fonts in the Command Prompt. Since Windows only comes with two monospaced TrueType fonts, if you want to add additional fonts to the Command Prompt, you will have to start by tracking down monospaced fonts. As you know, some Windows applications will add new fonts to Windows when you install them, so you might have other monospaced fonts on your system. Alternatively, you can download monospaced fonts from the Internet.
Now, before you proceed with locating monospaced fonts, you need to keep in mind that not all third-party monospaced TrueType fonts will be recognized as a Command Prompt font.
However, there is really no easy way to tell if a font will work until you try it. With that in mind, let's proceed. As I mentioned, you may already have other monospaced fonts installed in your system.
