You can call me a sophisticated pervert, but I often program in FAR and Midnight Commander without any IDE. And everything would be fine, but under Windows 7, a strange glitch with the “Terminal” font gnaws at me in the console (I like it more than “Lucida Console” and “Consolas”). Although I tested, other fonts also have this glitch, but it is almost invisible due to the fact that letters in familiar spaces have a larger indent from the edges than in "Terminal". It appears in my FAR, but it seems that this is a general problem of the Windows 7 console. What is the glitch (it's easier to see on the attached pictures): one left pixel in the familiarity is cut off (the text color is replaced with the background color). When it appears: The most typical case is when selecting something with Shift, marking from right to left. If you mark from left to right, then only one letter is spoiled, and from right to left, the whole line is spoiled. Noticed
And fonts are also spoiled by selecting files in the FAR panels, also one character space to the right of the selection. Therefore, there is an assumption that it does not depend on the cursor, but on the color inversion.
I already did everything, I searched the Internet in Russian and English: they don’t talk about such a problem. I reinstalled fonts, copied them from other machines and operating systems, tested this effect on a dozen different computers (not only me), rummaged through the registry, etc., but this glitch could not be eliminated.
If who faced and knows the decision, respond.

I would try to enable Cleartype-friendly redraw in Interface Settings.
Another option is to turn off ClearType, but this is already out of the cannon.
The first one helped me at one time (although the artifacts were a little different)

I have the same situation, but I scored on it, it is treated by passing the cursor over problem areas, that's enough for me.

Maybe get confused and edit the font file itself, shifting or narrowing or reducing the font? Although of course, that is still insanity. Does changing the monitor resolution change anything?
