Replace Helvetica Neue on your 10.10 Yosemite Mac with Consolas
I like Consolas Font so much. In my PC(ThinkPad-R400),i also replaced Windows System Font to Consolas. So this is for you guys who like Consolas Font just like me. ; )
The idea generated with Thai Pangsakulyanont's Yosemite System Font Patcher. Thank for your effort,Thai Pangsakulyanont! And these custom fonts not crash Google Chrome, so happy! I also customed Menlo Font, but those fonts crash Google Chrome. :(

- Download the zipped font files.
- Copy the 5 font files to
~/Library/Fontson your Mac. (protip: presscmd+shift+gwhile in Finder to type the path directly.) - Log out and log back in to apply the changes.
- Navigate to
~/Library/Fontson your Mac and delete the 5 files starting withSystem Consolas System Font. - Log out and log back in to apply the changes.
These Consolas fonts have a special name table with names identical to those of the system fonts. Because the font folder /Library/Fonts takes precedence over the fonts which are in /System/Library/Fonts, these specially crafted fonts are used for the user interface instead of the real system fonts. The original system fonts are not deleted or modified in any way.
