Suddenly: Font does not support ANSI character range?

Suddenly: Font does not support ANSI character range?

[Andrey Tarasevich]

Hello

I just ran Cygwin x64 setup executable to make some changes to my
Cygwin install (under Windows 10 x64 Pro). Among other things, it
updated all Cygwin components to their newest versions. However, now
when I attempt to start Cygwin terminal (mintty), I'm immediately
greeted with a message box saying

  Lucida Console
  Font does not support ANSI character range

Choosing any other font available in mintty options results in the
very same error message (with a different font name, of course).
Clicking through that message box starts the Cygein terminal, which
appears to work fine.

The issue is immediately reproducible on all of my Windows 10 Pro x64
machines, once I run the setup executable and update Cygwin.

So, what is going on here? What is the reason for this message and how
do I get rid of it?

Do you have a Russian Windows version? Mintty reports this if the
selected font, well, what it says, but that sounds weird for the
standard fonts.

If we find out why this is reported in your environment, I will disable
the message for the next release (to come soon then).

The Windows itself is not Russian. It is a regular US version and the
OS display language is set to "English (United States)". However, the
"Control Panel -> Region -> Administrative -> Language for non-Unicode
programs" setting is set to "Russian".
