Notepad uses standard FON for display text. You need to replace<br />
appropriate FON files to files with codepage 866 (DOS-cyrillic).<br />
(I thing VGAOEM.FON, VGASYS.FON. Check for font &quot;Terminal&quot;).<br />
If I remember correctly, there was software &quot;russificator&quot; called<br />
CyrWin. It has these fonts.<br />
