Currently, when the user changes the console codepage (manually or via a script) the GDI engine tries to find and set the "best possible" font. The "best possible" here is charset-wise, it doesn't mean that the font is actually better or more eye-candy for the user.
Example:
chcp 932This kind of makes sense ("if I'm changing the codepage I probably want to see the national characters") but it doesn't happen anywhere else - all other apps just substitute the missing glyphs.
After #10472 / #10478 this magic should finally work here as well. So, do we still need to change the whole font? Terminal doesn't do that after all.
Validation Steps Performed
Download 932.cmd.txt,
rename to 932.cmd, run it, check if the output is still readable.
Closes #10497
