The command prompt (cmd.exe) in Windows allows you to change the font and font size to make it more readable. The default font is small and that can be an issue for users of modern displays with high resolution. If you try to change the font in the command prompt window, you will notice that the scroll bar disappears! This is very annoying when you run some console app with several lines of output, and it gets displayed only partially. Here is how you can fix the issue and restore the scroll bar even for custom font settings.
