The Windows console has a two-stage mechanism for configuring the font. First, the registry specifies a subset of fonts which can be used in the console. Initially this subset only contains Lucida Console or Courier New. As far as I can tell, Far East localizations add a CJK-enabled font. Googling for =E2=80=9Cadd windows console font=E2=80=9D w= ill give you the exact steps. After that, chosen fonts appear in the console properties dialog. I used Andale Mono and subsequently Liberation Mono with great success. >> Some applications (notably, ports of Unix utilities) have problems >> displaying Unicode on the Windows console.

Ubiquity of a bug does not imply that it can or should go unfixed.
