Overview

When calling keepassxc-cli.exe on Windows it changes the code page to 65001.
And when calling powershell.exe, the font changes from Consolas to Raster Fonts.
Version 2.7.3 is OK, but versions 2.7.4 and later change the code page and the console font.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Command Prompt.
  2. Set console font to Consolas, size 16.
  3. Type: powershell.exe dir C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe
  4. Console font doesn't change.
  5. Type: "C:\Program Files\KeePassXC\keepassxc-cli.exe" -v
  6. Console font doesn't change.
  7. Type: powershell.exe dir C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe
  8. Console font changes to Raster Fonts, size 8x12.

Expected Behavior

Console font does not change.

Actual Behavior

Console font changes from Consolas, size 16 to Raster Fonts, size 8x12.

Context

Default code page is 850, not 437.
The chcp.com command returns 850.
The Command Prompt font is set to Consolas, size 16.

KeePassXC - 2.7.4 and later

Operating System: Windows

The default code page is 437 when I launch a fresh command prompt. I do not observe any font changes from within Terminal, but I do observe that from the legacy command prompt.

Steps to Reproduce on fresh Windows 10 Enterprise 22H2 installation.

  • Open Command Prompt.
  • Default console font is Consolas with size 16.
  • Type chcp and press Enter. It returns 437.
  • Type powershell.exe dir C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe and press Enter. Console font does not change.
  • Type chcp and press Enter. It returns 437.
  • Type "C:\Program Files\KeePassXC\keepassxc-cli.exe" -v and press Enter. It return 2.7.9. Console font does not change.
  • Type chcp and press Enter. It returns 65001.
  • Type powershell.exe dir C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe and press Enter. Console font changes to Raster Fonts.

When opening a new Command Prompt and changing the console font from Consolas to Lucida Console.
and trying to reproduce the issue, the code page does change to 65001, but the font remains Lucida Console.
