dir failure with some unicode characters

TCC 11.00.52 Windows 7 [Version 6.1.7600]
TCC Build 52 Windows 7 Build 7600

Using a TCC tab inside TCMD.

I have a file named U+0999.txt, i.e. a single Unicode character 0x0999
followed by the extension .txt: ঙ.txt

When this file exists and I do a *dir, that one line is rendered as if the
font size were reduced by about 30%. As I start to mouse-mark over it, the
marked region is normal size until I come to the unicode character, and then
the rendering goes back to the reduced size. The marked region captures what
ought to be captured, not what is visibly captured.

This can't have anything to do with DIR. It is most likely a font issue --
what font(s) are you using in your (hidden) console window and in TCMD?
 
I just downloaded the newest DejaVu font from sourceforge for my TCMD
window. How do I find out the font in the hidden console?

I enabled unicode output and created a unicode text file with the output
from *dir. Using both WordPad and UltraEdit editors, I see similar odd
behavior.

Clearly, there's some generic font rendering issue that is not JPSoft's
fault.

Sorry for the initial pointed finger. I stand corrected.

Start a console window (or detach the TCC tab window), click on the icon on
the title bar, then select Preferences/Font. If you're not using a Unicode
font (for example, if you're using Raster Fonts), bad things are going to
happen when you try to display Unicode characters.

How is one to know whether or not a particular font is a Unicode one?
