My vote is against the patch because the nodef glyph will often be just blank space which is certainly worse than ▒. If conhost does not provide a reasonable way to enquire 0xFFFD availability it's conhost's fault, not cygwin's so why should cygwin implement a bad compromise. If conhost ever improves, cygwin can adapt.On 4. 9. 2018 11:00, Corinna Vinschen wrote:We either keep 0xfffd now and the user gets the nodef glyph, or I revert the patch and let the console print 0x2592 MEDIUM SHADE again. Decision has to be made today. I will release 2.11.1 tomorrow.I vote for keeping the patch and printing 0xFFFD. It's okay in the default case, it's exactly what was requested in the non-standard font case and it's futureproof in case ConHost implements rendering using fallback fonts.
