Starting PowerShell from command prompt changes font

Question

Hello.
I have set my default font for command prompt as Consolas
When I run powershell from that command prompt the font is changed to Fixedsys (raster).

Is there any option to disable this behavior ?

Here is screencast how it looks like:

Answer 1

That doesn't happen when I try it. Is there anything in your PowerShell profile that changes the font?

Answer 2

This is fresh install of Windows 10 LTSC 2021.
I have checked other settings and discovered following.
In language settings I have set Russian locale for non-unicode programs and checked [x] Beta: UTF-8 support.

It somehow interacts with current codepage.

Answer 3

Hello @Vasiliy Olekhov

This may be due to the font size selected. There was reported issues in the past with some fonts using sizes like 12pts or 14pts, but it would work with 11pts -13pts

I would recommend change font size, and ensure that you have all the latest updates installed on the system.

At the same time, it is recommended to check from the "Default" option in the top menu of Powershell (left click on the powershell icon on the left top corner in the window) if the settings are kept for Powershell. If the settings are correct, but it shows Fixedsys fonts, it is due to a font scaling issue.

Hope this helps with your query,
