Issues:
- Starting with the 14342 build, changing the font using
SetCurrentConsoleFontEx does affect the window size. e.g. The content
itself will resize/redraw, but the window neither shrinks nor expands.
Presumably this is an oversight? It's almost a convenience; if a program
is going to resize the window anyway, then it's nice that the window size
contraints don't get in the way. Ordinarily, changing the font doesn't just
change the window size in pixels--it can also change the size as measured in
rows and columns.
- In build 14316, with the Japanese locale, with the 437 code page, attempting
to set the Consolas font instead sets the Terminal (raster) font. It seems
to pick an appropriate vertical size.
- It seems necessary to specify "-family 0x36" for maximum reliability.
Setting the family to 0 almost always works, and specifying just -tt rarely
works.

(*) I was trying to figure out whether the inconsistency was at when I stumbled
onto this completely unexpected bug. Here's more detail:

Even attempting to set to a Lucida Console / Consolas font from the Console
properties dialog fails.
