Command Prompt in Windows 7 7048

March 10, 2009

I like the Command Prompt, it’s a little like those old worn out pair of shoes that you just don’t want to get rid of. I’m also a fan of the Consolas font, so when I can mix it with Command Prompt, those old shoes get a new lease on life.

Check out Command Prompt sporting the Consolas font:
