I merely changed the font, while the earlier xgraphics result was viewable in the terminal. If the fallback scheme relies on actually changing the internally-stored character code, rather than changing which glyph is used to draw that character, then my technique would bypass the fallback. > Consolas on Windows 7 indeed is much improved.
