Font comparisons:
Via: [WayBack] I forgot in which version of Windows, the command prompt defaulted to the Consolas font… – Jeroen Wiert Pluimers – Google+
Based on this, I found more font identification sites:
I tried both at 
and 
(used bySource: “techorama” – Google Search), but only WhatTheFont managed to get the glyphs and font similar fonts on both, and Matcherator got the glyphs wrong in both images, even after manually cropping.

On my list of mono-spaced programmer fonts to try (and see how it compares to my beloved [Wayback] Lucida Console):
[Wayback] fantasque-sans – A font family with a great monospaced variant for programmers (yes I know it was called Comic Sans Neue Mono, but don’t extend your Comic Sans hatred there).
Source: [Wayback] Fantasque Sans Mono:
Fantasque Sans Mono: A programming font, designed with functionality in mind, and with some wibbly-wobbly handwriting-like fuzziness that makes it unassumingly cool. Development hosted on Github: [Wayback] https://github.com/belluzj/fantasque-sans OFL (SIL Open Font License). Category: Monospaced
Via: Ein Font für Ruby on Rails-Entwickler: Comic Sans Neue Mono – Kristian Köhntopp – Google+
Another font on that list is [Wayback/Archive.is] Hack where I have to do a bit work on fiddling with line spacing.
These are for my TODO:

PowerShell 4.0 is madly in love with “English (United States)”
A long time ago I started writing up my blog post like this in March 2015 when I bumped into this the first time when upgrading from PowerShell 2 to PowerShell 4:
It seems there is no real workaround:
Good and not so good news: after reading the below linked posts, this is what works:
- PowerShell 4 and up works fine with any [Wayback] Lucida Console size (including 12) and boldness
- only when the “Language for non-Unicode programs” is set to “English (United States)”.
- PowerShell 4 works fine with [Wayback] Consolas on any size and boldness
- for any “Language for non-Unicode programs”
So if you’re like me and switch between “Dutch (Netherlands)” and “English (Ireland)” a lot (both use the EURO as currency, but have distinct enough other locale settings to cover a lot of European stuff) then you need to get used to the Consolas font.

Edit 20210930: a possible solution
I need to fire up some old systems having PowerShell v3 or v4 on them to test the below possible solution.
