    Description

      I have an issue with mongo shell reporting that a non-unicode font is used, even though console2 is configured to use consolas or Lucida Console

      Note that it works well when running outside console2, so it's likely there the problem lay, but reporting it here first to see if there is anything that could be done differently in mongo. If not, I will take the bug to console2, but would appreciate any available help in reporting it.

      When I type a unicode characther (e.g. æøå) this is what happens:

      C:\Program Files\Console2>mongo
      MongoDB shell version: 2.2.2
      connecting to: test
      >

      Unicode text could not be correctly displayed.
      Please change your console font to a Unicode font (e.g. Lucida Console).
