I guess I *did* know this at one point:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-10/msg00226.html

FWIW, compare the various versions of consolas:

5.00 -- shipped with Vista
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/font.aspx?FMID=1537

1.00 -- included in the Office 2007 compatibility pack
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=941B3470-3AE9-4AEE-8F43-C6BB74CD1466&displaylang=en
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/font.aspx?FMID=1293

and 5.22, Windows7's version:
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/font.aspx?FMID=1723
which is not, AFAICT, available gratis.
