Texts in Far Manager invisible in ConEmu

[Maximus5]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 818

OS version: Win7 x64
ConEmu version: 121109 x64
Far version (if you are using Far Manager): 3.0.2942 x64

I put ConEmu to the Far directory. When far is automatically started by ConEmu, I got
a window with texts invisible. Function keys in far are working, but all the text except
the menu are invisible. The cursor moves as I type some command into far without prompt.

Windows console runs well in ConEmu, but if I start Far from ConEmu, the same thing
will happen.(see attachment 1)
Everything works fine in Far if I detach Far from ConEmu or run it outside ConEmu.(see
attachment 2&3)

I tried different versions of far and ConEmu. The same thing happened again and again.

Everything all right on my side with similar config
Do the following

1. Run far in Conemu (reproduce the problem) and press Ctrl+Win+Alt+Space. Real console
with Far must appears. Attach screenshot here

2. Run conemu with following switches
ConEmu64.exe /config i 818 /cmd far /p /s i818
it will load "clear" configurations of conemu and far without plugins. Nothing changed?
Screenshot.

3. Delete 2 files ExtendedConsole*.dll from ConEmu subfolder. Restart conemu. Whats
happening? Thiught, must be ok.

Sorry for the duplicated post. My network was unstable that I thought it was not sent.

Thank you for the quick reply.
I did what said and got the following results:

1. The real console seems like the detached console in my last post. (see attachment
'screenshot-1.png')
2. FAR crashed, and this is reproducible... ;-( (see attachment 'screenshot-2.png')
3. Unfortunately, it is the same...

Hm... Can you create full memory dumps, zip them and send to me via dropbox or somehow?

I'm interested in dumps for Conemu64.exe, ConemuC64.exe and far.exe.
For both screenshots of your last comments.

Here comes the dump files...

BTW, I find another 32bit computer to try ConEmu with Far. Texts on Far interface remain
hidden. However, I can start ConEmu with parameters in Comment #3 point 2.

The problem might come from my locale settings. The locale of my computer is set to
China (PRC), while the display language is English. The code page of the Windows console
is 936 (GBK). Under this code page, there are only two fonts available for the console:
Raster fonts and 新宋体(Simsun in English, the default Chinese font). I found the font
name 新宋体 in the parameters of far from the crash report from system. It looks like
this:
"C:\Program Files\Far Manager\ConEmu\ConEmuC64.exe" /AID=13988 /GID=13844 /GHWND=0015157C
/BW=80 /BH=25 /BZ=1000 "/FN=新宋体" /FW=3 /FH=5 /TA=10100007 /HIDE /ROOT far /p /s i818
