1. Open the Windows Control Panel by clicking on the Start button and typing “control panel” in the search bar.
2. Once the Control Panel opens, click on the System and Security button.
3. Click on the Appearance and Personalization button.
4. Under the Fonts section, click on the Change Font button.
5. A window will open where you can select a new font.
6. Click on the OK button to close the window and apply the changes to your terminal.
Choosing the right font
There are a few things to keep in mind when choosing a font for your terminal:
First, the font should be legible at a large size. Terminal windows are typically quite large, and you don’t want to be struggling to read text.
Second, the font should be easy to read both in the terminal window and onscreen. If the font is difficult to read both onscreen and in the terminal window, it may be best to choose a different font.
Finally, the font should be legible in both Cyrillic and Latin scripts. If you’re using a terminal to work with Russian or other Cyrillic scripts, be sure to choose a font that can be read easily. If you’re using a terminal to work with Latin scripts, be sure to choose a font that looks good both in the terminal window and onscreen.
Making the font size larger or smaller
Making the font size larger or smaller is a common task that is often performed in Windows terminals. Changing the font size can be helpful in making text more legible, especially if the terminal is being used in a cramped space. There are a few ways to make the font size larger or smaller in a Windows terminal.

Windows terminals come with a wide variety of fonts by default. However, some users may want to customize the font to make it look more professional or witty. To do this, open the Windows registry editor by going to the Start Menu, typing “regedit” in the search box, and pressing Enter. Next, navigate to the following key:
