Windows 10.0.18309 x64

There is popular font Terminus. That font does not recognize by windows console, but ttf fork works ok. Any others software recognize this font as monospaced font and supports it. ConEmu supports it too.

So, maybe it's time to remove this shitty fonts limitations at all and rewrite like in ConEmu?

Windows console does not support terminus font:

winconsol

ConEmu supports all fonts, monospaced highlighted.
