How Consolas Came To Be

Programming and other digital environments more often than not required monospaced typefaces, which were ideal for electronic screens. This allows for longer and more comfortable reading long lines of text on digital screens. All characters have the same width, making it one of the better options for personal and business purposes.

This design by Luc(as) De Groot is part of the ClearType Font collection that takes advantage of Microsoft’s font-rendering technology. The subpixel rendering technique attempts to improve on the appearance of texts of computer display screens. This means sacrificing the variation of colors that can be displayed for a wider degree of intensities.

ClearType was implemented on various Microsoft operating systems from Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and to limited extents, Windows 8 and 10. Consolas was meant to replace the aged Courier New – only that it started with a limited number of glyphs (only 713 glyphs were available on the first version of Consolas, compared to the 1318 glyphs available on Courier New (v. 2.90)).

Consolas 'courier New' Monospace

Consolas version 7.00 that came with Windows 10 supported a total of 3030 glyphs.

Consolas Today

Aside from Windows operating systems, Consolas is distributed with Microsoft Excel Viewer, Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer, and the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack. The typeface is also available for licensing through the Ascender Corporation, now part of Monotype Imaging. Bare Bones Software has acquired licensing for this typeface for use with BBEdit – their text editor software.

Because it’s still a serif, it makes sense to pair it with a sans serif to create balance. We recommend Avenir or Gibson for a natural, human touch. Consolas is available for purchase through MyFonts. You can also grab the free variant at A-ZFonts or at Fonts Network.

Consolas Bold Download

🎉 thank you for this. new macbook didn't have Consolas and I thought PT Mono would be the same but it just wasn't the same.

This font is just the right size at 10pt and setting it to bold gives it a very smooth look. Here’s how Consolas 10pt bold looks in GVim on Windows 8: Recently I’ve given some other fonts a try as well because in the showed examples it appears they make a nice programming font.

Thanks for this instruction for downloading & installing this font. However I'm missing the bold and italics variations.

I used https://ikato.com/blog/how-to-install-consolas-font-on-mac-os-x.html to mange this problem. unfortunately the download link PowerPointViewer.exe did not work anymore; so I googled on PowerPointViewer.exe and found a working version which I could use.

Disadvantage: this method uses homebrew (https://brew.sh/); But I can not image an developer MacOS without homebrew ;-)
