This is intentional and can be used to enable additional fonts; it is a common tweak for Korean (and probably other CJK) users to add a preferred font with a name 0949 or 00949 etc.

Japanese versions use CP932 though, which according to your list would use a font that's not Consolas (MS Gothic in this case).

I should have said "no" in place of "yes" (being a non-native speaker, I completely overlooked "not" in your original reply), otherwise I believe I didn't contradict you.
