If PowerShell is not running in a console, this code probably won't work as expected - for example if we are running under ConPTY, so we should avoid checking the font in that case. I think you can check this easily enough by calling GetFileType on the file handle from STD_INPUT_HANDLE. If the return value is not FILE_TYPE_CHAR, then we can skip calling checking the font. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Per the documentation, GetFileType() returns a single value and is not flags.

On Windows, the outputencoding is tied to a codepage which is tied to a font. When using a CJK locale, the default is using a raster font that can render the CJK glyphs. Previously, PSReadLine 2.0.0 was manipulating the OutputEncoding to utf8 which resulted in a visible font change in the console and the resulting rendering in the screen buffer was not correct.
The fix is to detect that a raster font is being used and not change the output encoding. Also in cases where the output encoding is already utf8, there's no need to change it.
