Change the font in the Windows console

1. Check the options you already have by right-clicking on the title bar in a terminal window and clicking ‘Properties’.
2. To add more fonts, open the Registry Editor (Start > Run > regedit) and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / Software / Microsoft / Windows NT / CurrentVersion / Console / TrueTypeFont.
3. Right-click in the empty space on the right-hand side and click New > String value.
4. Name this string with a unique number of zeroes. In my case there already were strings name ‘0’ and ‘00’, so this became ‘000’.
5. Open this new string and under ‘Value data:’ enter the common name (i.e., ‘Times New Roman’, not ‘times.ttf’) of the font you want.
6. Reboot your computer and repeat Step 1.
