follow the manual steps in KB article Q247815<\/a>.<\/p>\nYou then need to log out (on Vista) or reboot on XP (log out might be sufficient but I haven\u2019t tried it.) Then open up a console, click the control box (upper left corner of the window) and choose Properties. The Font tab contains a list of Console-enabled fonts including the new entry, Consolas. Choose it, pick a nice size for it and click Ok. <\/p>\n
$key = “HKLM:\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\Console\\TrueTypeFont”
## Find out if Consolas is installed on the system
if(!(test-path (join-path $env:windir “Fonts\\CONSOLA.TTF”)))
{
write-host “The Consolas font is not installed on the system.”
write-host “Install Microsoft Office 2007 Beta to obtain the font.”
break

## Determine if Consolas is already installed as a command window font
$installed = get-itemproperty $key |
get-member |
where-object { $_.Name -match “^0+$” } |
where-object { $_.Definition -match “Consolas” }

## Find out what the largest string of zeros is
$zeros = (get-itemproperty $key |
get-member |

measure-object).Count
## Install the font
new-itemproperty $key -Name (“0” * ($zeros + 1)) -Type string -Value “Consolas”
