remote desktop - Command window missing default 8x12 font




Installation:




  • Windows Server 2008 R2

  • Remote Desktop Service role



When I logon locally my command window (cmd.exe) displays with default font that is 8x12. But when I logon remotely and open command window, it opens with the smallest possible font selection. Opening window properties and setting font size, the default 8x12 font is missing from the list.



What should I do to get this font back in the list?




Following screenshots show settings when logged on locally and remotely. Local machine is not Aero capable, but remotely I can have Aero environment. I've also tried setting it to basic, but there was no change.

Problem solution found !!! Change "System Locale" = Language for non - Unicode programs to US English and reboot. And then 8 x 12 font available again !
