From: Windows Application on 18 Nov 2007 18:11 Hi Group: I need your kind help again. I have a console window that I want to assign it a different font than its default font. clicking on the left corner of the title bar gives me a dialogbox where I can select a font for this window. Now, I would like to do the same thing programmatically without showing a dialogbox, I have tried CreateFont() and WM_SETFONT but the new font does not replace the default one. Is there another way to do this? Also, I can not use SetCurrentConsoleFontEx() since I am using Windows XP pro, this function requires Windows Vista. Thank you... http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms686200.aspx

There are some undocumented console functions. Catch22 kindly offers sample code: http://www.catch22.net/source/files/setconsoleinfo.c Uwe Windows Application wrote: > Hi Group: > > I need your kind help again.
