conhost with raster fonts: chcp 65001 breaks rendering of box-drawing characters
Windows Terminal version

Steps to reproduce
- Print box-drawing characters
- chcp 65001 -> It worky :)
- Ctrl+Scroll -> It no worky :(
Expected Behavior
This behavior is sus and I feel like this may not be a limitation in GDI. The ASCII characters all still work and the font doesn't actually change at all when you Ctrl+Scroll. LOGFONTW has a code-page field and we probably do something wrong there, or the .fon files have some weird logic that makes box-drawing glyphs code-page dependent. 🤔
In any case, we probably shouldn't treat 65001 as any old code page and instead use the CP_ACP instead.
Actual Behavior
Weird... I can't reproduce this issue on my other machine that uses a public Windows build, even though I'm using the latest conhost from main.
Just tried this in the conhost straight off the current GE builds:
chcp 65001
type d:\dev\utf-8-test.txt
then ctrl+scroll, and it worked fine?
It only happend with raster fonts. But I can't reproduce it anymore either so I'll close this.
