I tested this on Windows 7 in a pristine virtual machine, and cmd.exe passes
just fine, even with code page 437 and crappy raster font. Meanwhile bash.exe
fails.

No one said anything about Mintty. This is about bash.exe, launched by itself
or via Cygwin.bat

No one said anything about hex input.

A font does not need to be installed. Raster, Consolas and Lucida all work
already through cmd.exe.
I do appreciate your response, but all you have done here is thrown a bunch of
