No, i tested it a second ago - if i write a few polish chars with standard
windows coding (CP1250), change cmd.exe coding by "chcp 1250" and show
then by "less", they are look perfect.
Also if i convert them to iso-8859-2 or utf-8 and change console codepage,
"less" and "type" shows everything ok.

For me (but, as i stated, i know very little about windows) it looks more
trying to write two-bytes chars to console that doesn't know how use them :|

I set it to "charset Display UTF-8"

Thank you, but but i don't know which of my font meet all criteria.
I tried Andale Mono, Consolas and Arial Unicode and none of them showed on
list.
