The first garbled characters is the M of "M-x" etc. I see it like 'l'
(or 'I', I'm not sure), and C-u C-x = says:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        character: M (77, #o115, #x4d)
preferred charset: ascii (ASCII (ISO646 IRV))
       code point: 0x4D
           syntax: w 	which means: word
         category: a:ASCII graphic characters 32-126 (ISO646 IRV:1983[4/0])
		   l:Latin r:Japanese roman
      buffer code: #x4D
        file code: not encodable by coding system iso-latin-1-dos
          display: by this font (glyph code)
     -outline-Courier-normal-normal-normal-mono-13-*-*-*-m-*-iso8859-1 (#x4D)

Character code properties are not shown: customize what to show

There are text properties here:
  face                 (fixed-pitch :foreground "red")
  help-echo            [Show]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

except that I see

        character: l (77, #o115, #x4d)

but it is obviously describing the `M'.

If I start Emacs with

  emacs.exe -q --no-site-file -fn "-*-DejaVu Sans
Mono-normal-r-normal-*-13-*-*-*-c-*-iso10646-1"

the problem does not hapen.
