The difference is that Terminal is a raster font, and Courier New is a TrueType font. ![]() ![]() In older versions of Windows, I believe that defaulted to a bitmap font named "Terminal", but that seems to have changed, and in the current version of Windows 10, it defaults to Courier New. You can see the default font by opening a terminal (Command Prompt) and looking at the properties in the system menu (the icon in the upper-left corner of the window.) The Windows terminal uses whatever font you pick. Your graphics cardĬan display that text, but only when Windows is not running. Those fonts are actually a set of bitmap images, and graphics cards would actually use different bitmaps for different display modes. MS-DOS uses the ROM font built into your hardware: the font is actually built into a ROM chip on the video card, and it's not part of the operating system at all. MS-DOS and the Windows terminal are two different things.
