I kept getting a problem where the Consolas font was in italics on when using either CMD or PowerShell on Windows 7.
After messing around with lots of options, I actually ran a repair on the Office 2010 installation I had. It worked. I’m not exactly sure why this is the case, but if you’ve got this problem – you might want to try this too.
I know Consolas ships with Office 2010, so maybe the repair just makes sure the font files are installed correctly. If anyone knows the real reason, please feel free to leave me a comment!
Weird issue, but your solution worked. Also had Office 2010 on Windows 7 64-bit.
So thanks, Consolas is so much better on the eyes :)

It looks like it’s just a matter of uninstalling and then re-installing the font.
