C Strings and my slow descent to madness

Yes, you can actual look at the full list from `HLKM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Console\TrueTypeFont` (taken from my copy of Windows 10, bracketed comments mine):

    0       Lucida Console
    00      Consolas
    932     *ＭＳ ゴシック [MS Gothic for Japanese]
    936     *新宋体 [Simsun for simplified Chinese]
    949     *굴림체 [Gulimche for Korean]
    950     *細明體 [Windows MingLiU for traditional Chinese]

Note that there are actually two global defaults which only are differentiated by leading zeros. This is intentional and can be used to enable additional fonts; it is a common tweak for Korean (and probably other CJK) users to add a preferred font with a name 0949 or 00949 etc.

Japanese versions use CP932 though, which according to your list would use a font that's not Consolas (MS Gothic in this case).

I should have said "no" in place of "yes" (being a non-native speaker, I completely overlooked "not" in your original reply), otherwise I believe I didn't contradict you.
