change windows console font

Kind of a silly question, but is there any way to get windowsXP to recognize different font options for the command prompt? I have a few other FON and TTF files installed (some of which support the DOS codepage), but the only options seem to be Raster Fonts and Lucida Console.

yeah, definitely.
 
1. Start command prompt.
2. Right click either on Title Bar / Task Bar button.
3. Select "Defaults"
4. Select "Font" / "Color" and change settings.
 
Bye.
