X Windows fonts for Windows 11 cmd.exe

Unfortunately, there is no good solution for the PowerShell which only supports TrueTypeFonts.

However, looks are more important for me, so I abandon the PowerShell and go back to legacy cmd.

Sadly, the legacy cmd is being deprecated, so this guide may not last for too long. Enjoy while it works ;)

Read the introduction, it may give you some insight in case my guide doesn't work out for whatever reason. Install this font.

2. Now you want the legacy cmd. Go to the Start Menu, type `powershell`, rclick and select "Run as Admin".

Run `Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name Microsoft.Windows.Console.Legacy~~~~`

When it completes, you should see an output that includes `Online: True` and `RestartNeeded: False`. Close PowerShell.

3. Open cmd.exe and rclick the title bar for Properties > Options.

Check `Use legacy console (requires relaunch, affects all consoles), save, and close the console.

4. Open cmd.exe again and run `chcp 850` to change code page.

Rclick the title bar for Properties, and you should see the code page reflected.

Go to the Font tab and select "Raster Fonts" in the Fonts box.

Select 6x13 in the Size box.

That should give you the crisp Fixedsys 6x13 you've been looking for.
