I know for a fact that it does support some (many, actually) VTxx escape
codes.  The recent build script stuff I wrote about uses escape codes to
change between normal and "bold" colours and that works fine.  Maybe it
doesn't support enough of them.  Sounds likely.

Try this piece of software:

It's mainly an SSH client for Windows (and other platforms).  Included
in the package you'll find the program 'pterm'.  Try that instead of cmd
and see if that helps.  It probably supports way more escape codes than
cmd.exe.
