Yes.  Only, there are two swipl-win[.exe] at the moment: the old one written
by me for Windows and the new one written by Carlo using Qt.  The old
one is still
the one on Windows.  The new one is currently only the default for
MacOS.  The
source of the old one is in

src/win32/console/console.c.  There we read the default as:

	b->hfont = GetStockObject(ANSI_FIXED_FONT);

If not default, the properties are read from the registry and a font is
created using CreateFontIndirect().

Possibly the default is not a great idea for Unicode fonts.  If
anyone knows a better way, please send a patch.
