How to change the Windows XP console font?

"Create a backup of the windows registry.

On regedit, navigate to
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Console\TrueTypeFont

Right click on the right pane, select New -> String value.

Write 00 as the entry name.

Right click on the new entry, click on Modify.

Write the name of the desired font on the Value data field. That value should match one of the entries on HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts

If you want to add additional fonts, repeat the previous steps, adding a 0 to the entry name each time (that is, the third entry should be 000 and so on).

Reboot your PC to apply the changes.

Open a console window, right click on the title bar, select Properties.

Select the Font tab. The new fonts should appear on the list.

Before doing any of this, please read the article ""Why are console windows limited to Lucida Console and raster fonts?"", which explains in great detail why you shouldn't do that anyway."
