Only, I can't get this working.  In theory the GDI function
GetGlyphIndicesW is supposed to allow checking if a certain character
exists.  But I'm getting a weird result.  This code:

  static const wchar_t replacement_char[2] =3D
    {
      0xfffd, /* REPLACEMENT CHARACTER */
      0x2592  /* MEDIUM SHADE */
    };
  HWND cwnd =3D GetConsoleWindow ();
  HDC cdc =3D GetDC (cwnd);
  int rp_idx =3D 0;
  WORD gi =3D 0;
  DWORD ret =3D GetGlyphIndicesW (cdc, replacement_char, 1, &gi,
                                GGI_MARK_NONEXISTING_GLYPHS);
  if (ret !=3D GDI_ERROR && gi =3D=3D 0xffff)
    rp_idx =3D 1;

always sets rp_idx to 1 when called from inside the Cygwin DLL,
independently of the actual console font.  And, here's the really weird
thing, it always sets rp_idx to 0 when called directly from an
application, likewise independently of the actual console font.

Does anybody have an idea what I'm doing wrong?

Just as side-note:

- GetTextFaceW always returns font number 7 called "System", independently
  of the actual current font set in the console.
- GetCurrentConsoleFont always returns a font number of 0, independently
  of the actual current font set in the console.
  GetCurrentConsoleFontEx always returns with error 87, "invalid
  parameter"

Something's very fishy.  Thanks for any actual help.
