I think the difference between the screenshots is mostly because Windows 98 doesn't properly support Unicode, so to display Cyrillic it needs a font that is specifically encoded for Cyrillic (and you'll need different fonts for each script then). Now everything is just Unicode which is just much better on so many levels, so maybe it's time to upgrade your Windows after 10 years :-) About the console problem, I think our fonts follow the specs on that page, but I guess Windows 98 has additional requirements... Make sure to install the latest version of DejaVu since we did have some issues with Mono getting recognized as monospaced a long time ago. Reducing priority, Unicode CMaps in TrueType fonts have been supported properly by all operating systems known to me since the beginning of the century or so. I guess it’s safe to call this a WONTFIX ;-) |
