Sure, but you can't select just any True Type fonts for console windows
(only Lucida is offered in WinXP; I just don't know if the same font is
offered if the main locale is Japanese or if it isn't another font in
later MS Windows versions).

Regarding True Type fonts only supporting ASCII (and disregarding the fact
that those wouldn't support Japanese mentioned in the original post
anyway) - I meant using an appropriate True Type font as a minimum
condition (i.e. not necessarily sufficient per se).
