On my Win7 64-bit OS, the only font options available for both PowerShell and cmd.exe are 1) Consolas; 2) Lucida Console; and 3) Raster Fonts. The online research I did stated that only Lucida Console would provide full access to all the characters available in utf-8 with the code page set to 65001. For my particular choice of a single character, 1) Consolas will work as well, though it looks raggedy compared to 2) Lucida Console. However, usually where there is a will there is a way, so I would not be surprised if research would reveal that other workable fonts could be installed in PowerShell and cmd.exe. But (For the moment!) I am quite satisfied with the results of Lucida Console. boB _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
