I tested this on Windows 7 in a pristine virtual machine, and cmd.exe passes

fails.

No one said anything about Mintty. This is about bash.exe, launched by itself
or via Cygwin.bat

No one said anything about hex input.

A font does not need to be installed. Raster, Consolas and Lucida all work
already through cmd.exe.
