So how does this font know how to display a chr(230)? Because it is an ae ligature in 1252 and ć in 1250 and yet something else in cyrillic. How does the font know which one? The fonts I've been seeing for the last 30 years weren't intelligent at all, they were just data.

Besides, these codepages don't have to be installed, they already come with all windowses since, IIRC, NT4 or so. It's only a matter of picking which one should be used for non-unicode programs (and unfortunately can't be picked dynamically, per-app - it's a "whole box with a reboot" kind of setting).
