Add TrueType fonts you like for your console font (cmd console) to the registry by entering new string entries to the following key:

Example:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Console\TrueTypeFont] "000000"="Envy Code R"

(The Zeros can be any unique number.)

Replace the string "Envy Code R" with the desired font's name spelled as you see it in the font menu.

You still have to manually change the default font via the drop-down list - this merely adds the font to the list of available fonts.

What drop-down list? In the CMD window, click the upper-right-hand corner icon and select "Defaults" and go to the Fonts tab - that's where you select your fonts from the list of available fonts.

Also, by adding Tamsyn and Terminus, they will appear in the Raster Fonts listing (under the size-numbered entries that appear).
