Is there a way to change the Command Prompt font?

I believe the Command Prompt is still using the ancient Fixedsys font, and I thought that in Vista, Microsoft would have changed it to the much newer (and nicer) Consolas. Of course, they didn't. So, as minor as it seems, is there a way to get the Command Prompt to use Consolas instead of Fixedsys?

Yes, you can use Consolas! Here's how: http://www.hanselman.com/blog/UsingConsola...onsoleFont.aspx

Here's the fix.

Or you can start up cmd.exe, click the system menu, Properties, then change it to Lucida Console. But using the procedure above you can change it to Consolas.

edit: I'm slow. :p

Not a solution but as a workaround you can use Console.

Thanks, I got Consolas installed on the Command Prompt. It looks much better now.
