How to customize the font of powershell?

hi,all

I have read the manual
http://blogs.msdn.com/powershell/arc....aspx#comments,
installed the consolas font and run the PS script quoted in the manual,
but after that I cannot find the font "consolas" in the list of properties
of console.

I can find the consolas in vim font-setting.

Is there any way to resolve the problem?

Thanks!

You could merge in this reg file (or manually create the entry using RegEdit):

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Console\TrueTypeFont]
"00"="Consolas"

Then it should show up here:



After setting the font you will need to either log off then back on Windows or reboot before the setting will take effect.

Hi Keith,
I have already done this before I asked the question in the newsgroup, but
yet it doesn't show up in the properties box.

Thanks.
