By editing a Registry, you can add other monospace fonts. 
<P>Start Regedit and navigate to:
</p> <P><EM>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Console\TrueTypeFont</EM>
</p> <P align="center"><IMG src="http://TheSystemAdministrator.com/images/stories/Fonts_2_CMD_1.png" />
</p> <P>Notice that <STRONG>Lucida Console</STRONG> is already under this key with a name of "0".
</p> <P>Add a new sting value with the name "00" (that's the required name) and set the data to the name of a monospace font already installed in your C:\Windows\Fonts folder. In this example, added the Consolas font. It seems that additional entries require names "000", "0000", etc. Names like "1" and "2" don't work.
  
</p> <P>Open up a new cmd window (Start &gt; RUN &gt; CMD.EXE), right-click on the system menu, select <STRONG>Properties | Font</STRONG> and there is the newly added font.
