 Q, TSE: Linux: WSL: Operating system: Microsoft: Terminal: Font: cmd.exe / powershell.exe / wt.exe: How to change the font and get access to about 200 fonts?

Note: Interesting!!!!!!!!: If starting TSE Linux WSL via Windows Terminal

      

        wt.exe

      then in TSE you can choose out of the box from about two hundred

      (=200 fonts)!!!!! see below the steps.

Note: Doing the same for TSE for Microsoft Windows, that is 'start

      wt.exe', then run TSE, e.g. c:\tse\g32.exe, will not show

      similarly extra fonts, it shows the usually available fonts.

Note: Windows Terminal 'wt.exe' will have to be installed e.g. from

      Microsoft Windows 'Store'.

===

To change the fonts:

Note: The first 2 methods below are similar to changing the fonts in the

      TSE for Microsoft Windows terminal, there you click on the top on

      the icon, then choose 'Set Font...'. Only in wt.exe it is a bit

      more involved:

1. If running TSE Linux via first 'start cmd.exe', then type 'wsl.exe'

   then cd ~/tse then './e' you can always change the font by clicking

   on the 'Penguin' icon on top left of the terminal, then you choose

   'Properties', then you choose 'Fonts' > 'Perfect DOS VGA 437'.

2. Same here: If running TSE Linux via first 'start powershell.exe',

   then type 'wsl.exe' then cd ~/tse then './e' you can always change

   the font by clicking on the 'PowerShell' icon on top left of the

   terminal, then you choose 'Properties',

   then you choose 'Fonts' > 'Perfect DOS VGA 437'.

3. If running it via Windows Terminal 'start wt.exe', then type

   'wsl.exe' then cd ~/tse then './e' you will have to follow these

   steps:

 Q. How to Change the font in TSE in Windows Terminal v1.22:

Option 1: Use the GUI

 1. -Open Windows Terminal.

 2. -If for wsl you must start

      wsl

 3. -Change to your TSE directory

      E.g. in 4.50.6

       cd ~/tse

       ./e

      E.g. in 4.50 official release

       cd /mnt/c/tse/

 4. -In Windows Terminal click the down-arrow 'V' next to the tab bar (you see a 'V' icon in about in the middle of the screen, look closely and take that 'V', not the 'V' mostly to the left)

 5. -Scroll down in the list to

      'Settings'

 6. -In the left sidebar, click on your target profile (e.g. Ubuntu, PowerShell, Command Prompt, ...).

      E.g. choose the default

       'PowerShell'

 7. -Click the 'Appearance' tab under that profile (e.g. 'PowerShell'), thus not the global one.

 8. -Scroll down - you may now see 'Font face' and 'Font size'.

 9. -Enable 'Show all fonts'

10. -You can then choose from about

      210

     pre-installed fonts.

11. -Choose e.g. (e.g. type it in the input box)

      Courier New

12. -Click button 'Save'

13. -To exit click the 'x' at the 'Settings' tab

14. -Tested successfully on

     Microsoft Windows 10 Professional (64 bits)

     running

     Windows Terminal wt.exe version 1.22.11141.0

     TSE for Linux version 4.50 official release
