HOW TO SETUP CUSTOM FONTS IN WINDOWS 7 CONSOLE

As a hardcore user of [dual-panel orthodox file manager] i always suffered because of sucky look of default console fonts.
Native preloaded font list has quite scarce selection, if you ask me.


To fix such disappointment you’ll need:

  • install desired fonts by means of windows control panel
  • copy EXACT FONT NAME fonts section in control panel

  • paste it into registry key into following branch
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Console\TrueTypeFont
  • note that every new subsequent font should be added by a key with added one zero to registry key name


  • reboot computer to apply & enjoy!
