Changing font in console application to Raster Font

Question

I'm trying to change the font of my console application to the Raster Font. Here is an image of the font and where you can set it:

My question is how can I do this in my C++ application? Is there a certain name for it? This is what I have so far:

CONSOLE_FONT_INFOEX cf;
cf.cbSize = sizeof cf;
cf.dwFontSize.X = 6;
cf.dwFontSize.Y = 8;
wcscpy_s(cf.FaceName, L"NEED NAME HERE");
SetCurrentConsoleFontEx(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), 0, &cf);

"Raster", "Raster Font", "Raster Fonts", "RasterFont", "RasterFonts", "Font Raster", "Fonts Raster", "FontRaster", "FontsRaster", and "Font" all haven't worked for me. Is there a different way to set it or some different name it goes by?

You're amazing! Post this as an answer so I can mark it as the answer, @Asesh — vidsac, Sep 05 '17 at 05:35

You can set font face name to terminal for raster font:

CONSOLE_FONT_INFOEX cf = {0};
cf.cbSize = sizeof cf;
cf.dwFontSize.X = 6;
cf.dwFontSize.Y = 8;
wcscpy_s(cf.FaceName, L"Terminal");
SetCurrentConsoleFontEx(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), 0, &cf);

You are not initializing all members of `CONSOLE_FONT_INFOEX`. – zett42 Sep 05 '17 at 08:47
