Or alternatively if you can't afford unsafe assemblies

    [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
    public struct CONSOLE_FONT_INFO_EX
    {
        public uint cbSize;
        public uint nFont;
        public COORD dwFontSize;

Notes:

// Untested, added during 1-pass copy & paste of windows console fuctions

When on Windows XP, kernel32 does NOT support SetCurrentConsoleFontEx and cannot be used. It will throw an error saying entry point not found because of this.

Minimum supported client: Windows Vista
