Windows 10: Command prompt's font very small, can't change back

This happened after the fall update. It's not a big deal as I can still read it, but it's annoying.





:)

 

Command prompt text size is incredibly small

The text in my command prompt looks like a 8pt Consolas font at the maximum. My screen resolution is 1600x900, everything looks the same as it was on Windows 8.1 except the command prompt font is incredibly small. Is there any way I can make this bigger,
short changing my screen resolution?

 

Font Size on windows 10

for some reason the font size changed to very small. Very hard to read. How do I get back to where it was or change setting of fonts.

I cant find any thing in help or settings. I can change size of icons but not print??

 

I think if you right click on the title bar and then select properties this will get you to the settings you are looking for.

 

It appears from looking at my Command Prompt settings that you are missing the Consolas and Lucida Console Fonts. Have you tried doing a sfc /scannow to see if that fixes it.

 

the Command properties font window



so as Mc Ruff said you are missing some fonts

 

scannow didn't fix it but, I manged to figure it out. I upgraded to windows 10 from a windows 7 I bought back when I was in Japan with a Japanese system (which I never bothered to change). The system's command prompt is set to the Japanese code page (932 ANSI/OEM -Japanese Shift-JIS). This code set uses MS Gothic by default for their truetype font. However it seems after the fall update the MS Gothic font is removed


So what I did was simply change the registry 932 at
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Console\TrueTypeFont\
from MS Gothic to another font and restarted.

I could've also changed the codepage permanently from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\CodePage from 932 to 1252 (also typing chcp 1252 in the console temporarily fixes this). So thanks for your help guys, but it seems it's just an obscure problem from upgrading windows with a different system locale.
