Hi sorry, not sure best place to ask question. I just installed the 32 bits NppConsole and seems to works fine, but I would like to change font , how can i do that ?

Thanks, Emanuel

@emanueol I don't think you can in the plugin. Perhaps changing the default font of your actual Command Prompt or Powershell application itself will be reflected when the NppConsole opens. Note this is a legacy plugin that was abandoned and I just created a 64-bit version and added a few things to it. I don't pretend to know how it does what it does. Happy to review a pull request if you have a fix.

Cheers.

thanks for the update. im only using notepad++ 32bits just because of plugin Hex which I don't think anyone made it work for 64bits dafly 😥.

Regarding nppconsole, im happy to have interactivy windows cmd prompt. Just the looks look like cmd.exe itself, so thanks for the suggestion, im going try update looks and feel in cmd.exe itself and let you know.

Thanks and Kind regards, Emanuel Oliveira

I found how:

  1. launch cmd.exe > click top-left window menu > choose defaults > set font etc..
  2. and relaunch Notepad++

Looks good

@emanueol ,

It's even easier: if you open NppConsole window and click in it, then Alt+Spacebar and select Properties (for the current instance) or Defaults (for all instances) , then you have access to the cmd.exe fonts, options, etc -- without having to spawn a separate cmd.exe window.

Thats good tip, thanks. But just now testing NppConsole (didn't used for sometime) and not working.. cant type on it, don't see the prompt any ideas ? Maybe i should check if this is known bug with open issue hmm

When you see that, you need to do Plugins > NppConsole > Restart Console to restart the cmd.exe process After you restart the process, you may need to toggle the NppConsole window again to see it.
