I'm blown away that you can change the font for cmd.exe, but you only get one other option: Lucida Console. Still, it beats "Raster Fonts".

You can actually add more fonts, though it requires editing the registry and doesn't work for all fonts, I think. It does let you at least get Consolas, which is good enough for the time I spend in cmd.

Follow instructions, select 6x13. Problem solved.

On Windows 7, you get Consolas as well -- and you can always edit the registry, as skermes pointed out.
