You have to increment the string by adding a 0 to every one.
So the standard Lucida Console is 0
. The first custom font is 00
, the second custom font is 000
.
Note very few fonts are usable.
Consolas is one font you can add. Plus at work in PuTTY there are 4 TTFs that are fixed width so there are two more other than Consolas you can use.
From KB247815:
Necessary Criteria for Fonts to Be Available in a Command Window
Q247815
The information in this article applies to:
Microsoft Windows 2000 Server
Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server
Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional Edition
Microsoft Windows 2000 Datacenter Server
Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 Standard Edition
Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0 Developer Edition
SUMMARY
For fonts to be available for use in a command session (Cmd.exe)
window (on the Fonts tab in the CMD Properties dialog box), the fonts
must meet certain criteria.
The fonts must meet the following criteria to be available in a
command session window:
- The font must be a fixed-pitch font.
- The font cannot be an italic font.
- The font cannot have a negative A or C space.
- If it is a TrueType font, it must be FF_MODERN.
- If it is not a TrueType font, it must be OEM_CHARSET.
Additional criteria for Asian installations:
- If it is not a TrueType font, the face name must be "Terminal."
- If it is an Asian TrueType font, it must also be an Asian character set.
In Windows 2000, the installation of Console Fonts is no longer
automated. This was done to give the console window greater stability
in multilanguage environments. An unsupported work around is available
by adding the following font specific entry:
Add a String Value
Name=00
Data= "Font Name" (without "")
Into the following registry:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Console\TrueTypeFont
The name needs to be incremented with "0" for each additional font.
The Data entry needs to match the font's entry in the following
registry location:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Fonts
