Fixed : Font not changing in the PowerShell

 

Welcome to the world of PowerShell on Windows 10, where customization and consistency go hand in hand. In this article, we delve into the art of customizing and maintaining a consistent font in PowerShell, empowering you to take control of your scripting experience. Let’s embark on this font-tastic journey together!

Customizing Font in PowerShell

To customize the font in PowerShell on Windows 10, follow these steps:

Step 1: Open PowerShell by pressing the Windows key + X and selecting “Windows PowerShell” or “Windows PowerShell (Admin).”

Step 2: Use the Set-ConsoleFont cmdlet to change the font. For example, to change the font to Lucida Console with a font size of 14, enter: Set-ConsoleFont -Font “Lucida Console” -FontSize 14.

Step 3: To make the font changes persistent, create a PowerShell profile. Enter the following command: notepad $PROFILE.

Step 4: In the notepad window, add the following line: Set-ConsoleFont -Font “Lucida Console” -FontSize 14. Save and close the file.

Now, whenever you open PowerShell, the font will be customized to your preference. You can adjust the font and font size according to your needs. Remember to restart PowerShell for the changes to take effect.

Note: If you encounter any problems or want to revert to the default font, you can use the Set-ConsoleFont cmdlet with the default values: Set-ConsoleFont -Font “Lucida Console” -FontSize 16.
