Win7 Command Terminal Basics Color Guide

Microsoft has strict restrictions on console font metadata, https://support.microsoft.com/zh-cn/help/247815/ Necessary-criteria-for-fonts-to-be-available-in-a-command-window

WINDOW7 terminal fonts must conform to the following criteria to be available in the Command session window

• The font must be a fixed-spacing font.
• The font cannot be an italic font.
• The font cannot have a negative a or C space.
• If this is a TrueType font, it must be ff_modern.
• If it is not a TrueType font, it must be oem_charset.

Additional standards for Asian facilities:

• If it is not a TrueType font, the name on the face must be "terminal".
• If it is an Asian TrueType font, it must also be an Asian character set.

The above font requirements are very demanding, regular fonts are not available, you need a specially designed font to use. However, the design of this font is more complex, need to involve the low-level conversion table, non-professional people do not have a few, so we recommend that you download the following modified Windows 7 command terminal dedicated font: Yaheiconsola
