is there some regular way to add [of course monospaced]
font to cmd exe font list [on font tab of property]?
so, user may change appearance of his command propmt window?

Summary: Create entries in registry key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Console\TrueTypeFont

Here's mine:

[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Console\TrueTypeFont]
"0"="Lucida Console"
"00"="Andale Mono"
"000"="Monofonto"
 
michael, mathias,

thanks. that was exactly i was looking for!
i had found "lucida" at registries, but wasn't sure of full scheme of
adding.

we have some old apps [from dos622 and win98 dosbox] that need to be
"ported" to 2k/xp, and i am looking how to "tweak" envirnoment to be more
"dos friendly" ...

is there, maybe, also some way to "map" some keys [on keyboard] to produce
other character code than set default by system?
this old apps were written in old days when us-ascii was the only solution,
so there were loaded tsr-s that did dos tweakings to adjust codepage, but
unfortunately, this tsr-s aren't functional in 2k/xp environment.
[yes, you may say that the right solution would be to "remake" that old
apps, but currently it is not an option]

CHCP is still there in NT5.x. If you really want to remap keys, try
Remapkey.exe from Microsoft's Resource Kit:
<http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...69-57ff-4ae7-96ee-b18c4790cffd&displaylang=en>.
From memory, the user must have Administrator rights, and it might
require a reboot, so it may not be the appropriate tool.

yes, remapkey is functional [and usefull], but not very "runtime friendly".

what i am currently trying is to use "msklc", it may create completely free
layouted
keyboard [it is exactly what i need, since my layout is an old 7-bit
national keymap standard
not currently supported].
what i am trying is to "associate" layout with command prompt instance.
but, on dosprompt property sheet there is no "keyboard" tag.

is it somehow possible to have multiple keyboard layouts defined and to
*automaticly* switch to particular one when selecting particular dosprompt
box?
