Check / X glyphs don't render in Windows TrueType fonts

[AdamAndersonFalafelSoftware]

Both Powershell and Command Prompt with font set to Consolas or Lucida Console exhibit the same behavior: the check and x glyphs appear as boxes with a question mark inside. Changing the font to Raster Fonts fixes the problem, but now you have the problem that your console is in an ugly font. :)

Consolas and Lucida Console don't support the U+2713 or U+2A2F glyphs unfortunately. What you can do is run PowerShell or CMD through ConEmu and use Comic Sans or whatever font floats your boat and supports the glyphs.

@substack the issue could be fixed by using the U+221A √ and U+0078 x instead, which I believe is how the Mocha spec reporter does it. Don't know if these are more common glyphs but that would be a solution.

I switched the console to 'DejaVu Sans Mono' font (which looks like Consolas) and Codepage 65001 (UTF-8 via CHCP 65001) and it works for me now
