Your choice of fonts may at first seem a bit limited. To get more
font choices, you can add them to the console font list. The limited
default font list is supposed to prevent you from choosing
unsuitable fonts for your console.

One reason for this is that the console always uses the same width for each
character (fixed width fonts). This restricts the use of most Windows fonts
because they're proportional typefaces: every character has its own width.
For example, an "i" is narrower than an "m". If you're sure that a certain font
will work in the console, then here's how to add the font to the console font
list.

Open your registry editor. In the key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\
CurrentVersion\Console\TrueTypeFont

insert a new "string value" and give
this entry the name "00" (numbers, not letters).
If there's already an entry that has this name, then call the new entry "000"
or add as many zeroes as required to avoid conflicts with existing entries.
You should then double-click your new entry to open it and enter the name of
the font. The name must be exactly the same as the official font name, just
the way it's stated under the key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts.
