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:

That’s actually 16pt, believe it or don’t. 20pt looks pretty good.
