Using Consolas Font in CMD

Solution

Using Developer Command Prompt for VS2017 as an example
Remember to start it as Administrator

Adding Consolas font to Regedit

Open regedit

Goto HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Console\TrueTypeFont

Add a REG_SZ entry with the following contents:

Name = 00
Value = Consolas

NOTE: if there is already an entry for “00” you don’t need to change it. Simply use “000” instead.
