What is the simple method to set PowerShell default font to Consolas?

Question

To make it clear, i would like to have Consolas font set as default for that, no matter how, when I launch PowerShell, it is the font used to display console text.

I've found very few explanations for that on the web, and none were really clear to me.

EDIT Well, according to this question, PowerShell is started by a shortcut which normal user can't modify (it was my case).

I right-clicked the shortcut, then get to its "font" tag. That time, when trying to change the font, I got the classical "access reserved to administrator" dialog allowing me to change the shortcut, once I was recognized as admin, what I did.

Unfortunatly, it wasn't enough as a subsequent launch revealed the deceptive "raster font".

Answer 1

Taking a hint from an earlier @Grawity comment, you'll notice when you open up Powershell that the window options (Ctrl Alt Space ) that the options are similar to the Console window.

So click on default and you can change the options.

Answer 2

With PowerShell.exe Microsoft did not allow setting the font type through commands, otherwise you could add this to your profile. All you can do is what @surfasb mentioned by setting it through the window properties. If you are working with the ISE though, there are options to set the font by looking at $psISE.Options.

Answer 3

Well, according to this question, PowerShell is started by a shortcut which normal user can't modify (it was my case).

I right-clicked the shortcut, started PowerShell as administrator, then changed the font.Afterwards, Consolas font was effectively set as default.
