Command Promrt Font

Help, Please !
How to change Command Prompt Window Font to `Courier New' (Properties menu defaults are only `Andale Mono' or `Lucida Console') ?

[RWSchlatter]

you cannot.
the command console runs only with bitmapped fonts, not with TrueType fonts, as Courier New is.

This is not correct.
`Andale mono' and 'Lucida Console' are
True Type fonts !

Hi, sorry for the initial mis-information.

Let me give you some better information this time.
Use REGEDIT and locate following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Console\TrueTypeFont

You will find a data name of "0" (a zero) defining Lucida.
Add further fonts eg Courier New.

Note: the data names beeing used need to have a prefix of "0 " (zero followed by a space).
Why this is so, J cannot say - J have found this method of adding extra fonts by trial and error.
