"cmd.exe" can do this, its called Font Linking: http://docs.microsoft.com/globalization/input/font-technology it allows you to pick a "base font", for example "Consolas". Then you can link another font that has U+FFFD, like "Tahoma". Ideally both fonts would be monospace, but it seems Windows has no builtin monospace font with U+FFFD. Then when a missing character is encountered, it will pull from the linked font if possible. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
