I am working with Win 10 and Win 7. On both I use the newest version of MSVC 2017. While working on the Win 10 machine, everything works fine and I can use/select the Consolas font. When working on the Win 7 machine, everything also works fine, but I can't select Consolas font, because there is no entry for it.

Please tell me how to restore the Consolas font. I used the "Repair" command on MSVC 2017 Installer, but the font hasn't been installed. Deleting and reinstalling MSVC 2017 hasn't helped either.

Thank you very much.

  • Consolas is not installed by Visual Studio. You need to install it into Windows yourself, or install a product that adds it. – Richard Jan 28 '19 at 16:12
  • @Richard it should be [part of Windows since Vista](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consolas): "It has been included with Windows since Windows Vista," – magicandre1981 Jan 29 '19 at 15:14

Just open C:\Windows\Fonts, search forConsolas, Ctrl-C, and then copy to a Windows 7 computer.
