Well, when I talked about changing font I meant raster fonts used in console. TrueType fonts contain all pages inside, but raster fonts do not. To see it you may enter C:\Windows\winsxs directory and search for "vga866.fon". You will also see files in the same directory with names like vga850.fon. I looked at console API and yes, there are only functions to change input CP and to change output CP, so they obviously load the necessary font themselves.
