I'm afraid I don't understand where such font preferences are kept, but 
py2exe doesn't force the console to do *anything*, including what fonts 
to use.  You probably need to dig into how Windows itself makes that 
determination and how to force a particular font.

HTH,

For cmd.exe and XP, it's stored under "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console", and
I believe it's specifically handled by the application, so setting it
for cmd.exe won't have any effect on other console applications.
