Short Answer
The font is called Terminal (both for English and ), and the font file name of the Japanese one is vga932.fon
(located, naturally, in C:\Windows\Fonts
)
Long Answer
The Windows 7 (in Windows 10 that changed) Command Prompt uses an old bitmap type font called Terminal/Raster:
That font is one of the .fon
files in the C:\Windows\Fonts folder
, all of these font files are named something like vga***.fon
, where the start stands for a number, this number is one of the Windows codepages, and whatever codepage the System Locale language is using that is the font the CMD will use.
So since 932
is the Japanese codepage that Windows uses, the font CMD uses is vga932.fon
Thanks! I copied the vga932.fon (from command line, couldn't see it in folder) and renamed it with FontForge to install and use it without having to change to Japanese locale. – Joona – 2017-01-24T07:59:23.693
