Thread: console font

how do i determine the name of console font?
i know i can use GetCurrentConsoleFont but it gives only index in system font table.
i don't know what tro do with this index...

i tried using something like this:

Code:

hd=GetDC(hConsoleWindow);
GetTextFace(hd,50,buf);
ReleaseDC(hConsoleWindow,hd);

but this piece of code only returns string "System"

I know that console uses "Lucida Console" font...
but how do i get this name?

thanks

Actually the name of the face may actually be "System". See the attached screenshot. It's taken from NotePad, under the font menu.
