No, that doesn't help.  Do you really think I didn't try this?  Think
about it.  The string returned by GetCurrentConsoleFontEx is supposed to
be \0-terminated.  If the \0 follows *after* the stray characters, where
would they come from if not created by the GetCurrentConsoleFontEx
function itself?
