You're welcome.  Also, please double check that you are using the Consolas
font.  That screen shot above doesn't look like Consolas to me.  Consolas
is the only font that I've found in Windows which is reasonably complete
for UTF-8 characters.  Man pages are a good test.  See if you are seeing
true hyphens at the end of the line instead of box characters.  Author's
names in man pages are another good test.  Even if you are looking at
English man pages, author's names, if they come from a non-English-speaking
country, often contain "funny" characters, such as accented characters,
reverse accented characters, umlauted characters, etc.  These often don't
display correctly in other fonts.
