Is there a way to change the Font used in the VS2012 Test Output Window?

Question

I'd like to change the font used in the Test Output window (see picture below) of Visual Studio 2012 (SP3) without changing other windows. I know you can change the font by going to Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Fonts and Colors and changing the Environment Font but this changes for all windows, menus, dialogs etc...

Is there a way of changing the font used in the Test Output window only ?

Thanks,

Go to "Tools" → "Options" → "Fonts and Colors" In "Show settings for:".

The Test Output text is changed by the "Environment Font" option in the "Show settings for:" dropdown. Unfortunately, this changes the font for all the menu items and tabs as well.

This also works for Visual Studio 2010, but like 2012 it changes basically all the fonts in VS. – Greg Burghardt Mar 04 '15 at 20:00

Also works for Visual Studio 2013, but again, it changes basically all the fonts there too. – senshin Apr 28 '16 at 20:55

I'm using Visual Studio 2017, and there still doesn't seem to be a better way to do this. – kiml42 Mar 17 '17 at 08:58

The "Environment Font" option in Tools►Options►Fonts and Colors changes the test output, but also sets the menu and many other items.
