-Issues:
-
- - Starting with the 14342 build, changing the font using
- SetCurrentConsoleFontEx does not affect the window size. e.g. The content
- itself will resize/redraw, but the window neither shrinks nor expands.
- Presumably this is an oversight? It's almost a convenience; if a program
- is going to resize the window anyway, then it's nice that the window size
- contraints don't get in the way. Ordinarily, changing the font doesn't just
- change the window size in pixels--it can also change the size as measured in
- rows and columns.
-
- - (Aside: in the 14342 build, there is also a bug with wmic.exe. Open a console
- with more than 300 lines of screen buffer, then fill those lines with, e.g.,
- dir /s. Then run wmic.exe. You won't be able to see the wmic.exe prompt.
- If you query the screen buffer info somehow, you'll notice that the srWindow
- is not contained within the dwSize. This breaks winpty's scraping, because
- it's invalid.)
-
- - In build 14316, with the Japanese locale, with the 437 code page, attempting
- to set the Consolas font instead sets the Terminal (raster) font. It seems
- to pick an appropriate vertical size.
-
- - It seems necessary to specify "-family 0x36" for maximum reliability.
- Setting the family to 0 almost always works, and specifying just -tt rarely
- works.
