Hi i was recently browsing around gathering Mac fonts to use on my Windows PC, and I managed to find most of them online. However i was unable to figure this one out:



It's the one that is used in the OS X terminal, and I would to replace my console font with that font when I am programming away. Any help on how to find it would be much appreciated.

Not sure.... but I think Microsoft Consolas come close to it, I guess !!
A little googling should help finding a download.

Apple's Monaco font...its payware but chances are someone w/ a Mac can help you out or google it

Not payware... this is the Windows TTF version. Made by Apple.

Here's a tutorial on how to modify the font in the command prompt window.
I haven't tried it myself yet, but it should work.

Good luck to smoothing it out, smooth font with black background ummm....

But that console font is not Monaco, probably Consolas...

Not a biggie. MyFont tends to call everything payware. If you click on the purchase option, it will tell you they are not authorized to sell it.
They then throw out more BS about Apple not making a compatible Windows font, which is complete crap.

Anyway... to use this font in the command prompt, you will need to edit the registry to get it to load.

Edit key 0 and change the name from Lucida Console to Monaco.
You may have to reboot for this to work.

Monaco isn't anti-aliased in Terminal. I tlooks hideous antialiased

Thanks for all your help guys, here's the end result of Monaco used as my default CLI font at 20pt:



Doesn't look too shabby

Looks pretty good.
