           Summary: Win32 console doesnt display graphic chars properly
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.9
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: info at gknw.de


Win32 console apps dont display graphic chars properly;
here are some screenshots to show what I mean:
app on Win32:

app on Wine:

Another Win32 console app which shows up same font issue is rconip;
for testing self you can download it from here:
http://rconip.sourceforge.net/
if you launch it with 'wine rconip.exe' the first screen already shows this
same issue ...

I checked also wine registry settings and found there some probably strange
things which at least dont comply with Wine docu; f.e.:
localhost\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console\FontSize is set to 0x00f008 although docu
at:
http://www.winehq.org/docs/winedev-guide/x3500 - Table 8-5. Console registry
settings
says its default is 0x0c08; also from this docu the FaceName should have no
default while my registry has it set to 'Fixedsys'.
Manually changing FaceName or FontSize doesnt make any difference, and afer
wine or wineconsole has run the original values are automatically restored. 

It somehow seems to me that perhaps signed chars (7-bit) are used instead of
unsigned chars (8-bit) which kills all graphic chars ...??
