With a bitmap font selected, the characters will be immediately replaced
with characters present in the font's codepage, and will copy to
clipboard as such.

With a truetype font (Lucida Console or Consolas) selected, the
characters will be displayed as replacement glyphs (box with a question
mark in it) if not present in the font, but *will still copy to the
clipboard as the original code point* (which you might notice is where
we started, with someone claiming success by being able to do so with
codepage 65001 selected). And in any case, all characters that *are* in
the font will work and display correctly, rather than only those in the
OEM codepage.

The win32 console's configuration UI refers to opentype fonts as
truetype. Opentype fonts can use either truetype or type 1 as the
underlying format, and all opentype fonts supplied with windows use
truetype. You are being excessively pedantic in objecting to my use of
the term "truetype".
