How can I install a new font in PowerShell console?



As an IT administrator, you may have come across the need to install a new font in PowerShell console. This task is made easier with the help of PowerShell, which is a powerful scripting language that allows you to automate tasks and configure settings in Windows.

The first step in installing a new font in PowerShell console is to download the font file. This can be done from a variety of online sources, such as Font Squirrel or The League of Moveable Type, or you can use an existing font file from your computer. Once you have the font file, you must save it to a location on your computer.

The next step is to open PowerShell console. To do this, open the Start menu and type “PowerShell” into the search box. Right-click on the PowerShell shortcut and select “Run as administrator”. Once the PowerShell console is open, type the following command to install the font file:

Add-Font -Path “[Path to Font File]”

Make sure to replace [Path to Font File] with the actual path for the font file. For example, if the font file is located in C:\\Fonts, the command would be:

Add-Font -Path “C:\\Fonts\\FontFile.ttf”

The font will now be installed in the PowerShell console. To verify that the font is installed, type the following command:

Get-Font

This will list all of the fonts that are installed in the PowerShell console. The newly installed font should be listed in the output.

Once the font is installed, you can use it in the PowerShell console. To do this, type the following command:

Set-Font -Name “[Font Name]”

Replace [Font Name] with the name of the font that you installed. For example, if you installed the font “Arial”, the command would be:

Set-Font -Name “Arial”

The font will now be used in the PowerShell console. To verify that the font is being used, type the following command:

Get-Font

This will list all of the fonts that are installed in the PowerShell console, and the font that is currently being used should be listed first.

Installing a new font in PowerShell console is a simple process that can be done with the help of PowerShell. With the help of the Add-Font and Set-Font commands, you can quickly and easily install and use new fonts in the PowerShell console.
