Hello everybody,
I got .FON bitmap font file and need to enable it in Windows Console (CMD.EXE). I spent a week on the web googling but still didn't find a way how to add it there.  Does anyone have a solution pls?

Googling only for 10 seconds gives these two helpful links:

Hello Alex,
thanks for your reply. You're right mentioned answers could be found in 10 secs but unfortunately these are not the right ones. I was not asking how to enable custom truetype fonts in windows console, but how to enable bitmap fonts in windows console. The registry for raster fonts is completely different

The registry for raster fonts is completely different

Really? Then I have no ideas. 

Two ways to enable fonts for the MS-DOS terminal:

1. Open the font in BitFonter; click on the fontname (next to the Mac-style font folder icon), open the Font Info dialog; under Encoding and Unicode specify Encoding Mode: CodePage, and Use Table: OEM/DOS. In Additional date (under Encoding and Unicode, choose MS Charset: OEM/DOS. For each font in the family, choose Font Info, under Metrics and Dimensions, go to FON/FNT and remove the checkmark (if any) next to Variable Pitch. (The Font Family should be "Modern" or "Don't care", but I don't know if this is essential.) Save the font with the extension .FON in the Windows\Fonts folder. (If that doesn't work, open one of the existing .FON files from that folder - some are hidden files - and copy the details from the existing .FON file.)

2. To make your new set the default "Terminal" set, use Windows Notepad to edit C:\windows\system.ini. Under [386enh] change the line:

woafont=whatever.FON

to read

woafont=YOURNEW.FON

(Of course, replace these filenames with real ones.). Please post back to report if these procedures work or not.
