Unfortunately the cset doesn't fix the issue on either one of my development
boxes.

Philipp, do you mean the truncation at startup or when changing the
terminal fonts (or both)?

Truncation at startup.

What I see now is that font size doesn't make any difference, the startup message is consistently truncated to 13 char width (before your fix it was 14 characters).

It looks like once he terminal font size is big enough to reach beyond the right limit of the terminal, even with just a period, the truncation is over.
Decreasing font size again so that the startup message fits within the screen limits and the truncation is back at 13 chars.

Enigmatic...

This issue is back for me.  I'm now seeing that the message is truncated at 14 characters.  I have my window set to start more than wide enough to display the full message.  The font is set to Courier New.  If I use 11pt or larger, it works.  If I use 10pt or smaller, the message is truncated.  If I use 6pt or smaller, the screen is garbled and flashes. Seems like this might be some weird interaction with the Windows Console?

This is also back for me.  I want to say that it re-appeared sometime in the last 3 weeks, but that may not be exactly true.
