I have found the more time invested in Powershell for Exchange 2007 and Operations Manager 2007 Administration the more the reality of using a Command Windows that is viewable. I have invested in good quality Monitors and find myself sitting closer to the Monitor based solely on the Application in use. A number of months back (I know, I know, many months back) Bill Hill, Program Manager for the Internet Explorer Team posted a good article on why using the new Microsoft Consolas Font Pack is a good thing. After working with the Consolas Font Pack install on every Lab and Client Server available I have to admit it makes a big difference when prolonged reading of a Command Windows is necessary.
The big differences is using a mono-spaced font in a Command Window and how Cleartype renders that font. Don't take my word for it though, give it a try. There are just a couple of steps involved in configuration. Here they are:
Save the Settings then launch a new Command Window. You should see a much clearer font in a larger format onscreen. One of the added benefits of this Font Family is it can be used in any Command Window. So, the more 'Powershell-ing' you do the more you will want this clarity!
