I want to change the font style of Cmd
I want to change Cmd font with C coding.
But I don't know how to change it.
I want to change the main font -> Terminal Font.
This is my code
CONSOLE_FONT_INFOEX cfi;
cfi.cbSize = sizeof cfi;
cfi.nFont = 0;
cfi.dwFontSize.X = 0;
cfi.dwFontSize.Y = 16;
cfi.FontFamily = FF_DONTCARE;
cfi.FontWeight = FW_NORMAL;
wcscpy_s(cfi.FaceName,9, L"Terminal");
SetCurrentConsoleFontEx(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), FALSE, &cfi);
My development environment is on Windows 10.

The problem with the function SetCurrentConsoleFontEx()
is that the font width is not optional. You must use a value that matches the Y size and is supported by the selected font.
For the Terminal
following should work:
cfi.dwFontSize.X = 12;
cfi.dwFontSize.Y = 16;
If you want to check the font size, you can list the fonts. For example, with this little code:
// callback to display some infos about one font
int CALLBACK logfont(_In_ const LOGFONT *lplf,
_In_ const TEXTMETRIC *lptm,
_In_ DWORD dwType,
_In_ LPARAM lpData
)
{
wcout << L"Font " << (wchar_t*)lplf->lfFaceName << L" " << lplf->lfHeight<<L" "<<lplf->lfWidth <<endl;
return 1;
}
// this callback is then used in a statement like:
EnumFonts(GetDC((HWND)GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE)),L"Terminal", logfont, NULL);
For more details on installed fonts, this MSDN article might interest you.
