Smooth progress uses characters not available by default #2099

Brief description of your issue

The smooth progress implemented in #2046 uses partial block characters to make progress bars able to show 8x as much granularity. Unfortunately, those characters are not available in Consolas, the default font used by connhost on Windows. And without fallback, connhost displays the "I don't have that glyph" character (box with a question mark inside).

Steps to reproduce

Make a progress bar appear in the dev build, while using Consolas in connhost.

Expected behavior

I would prefer that we could detect this and not use the partial block characters.
I would accept having a user setting to control it.

Actual behavior

Progress bar pushes a question mark block across until smashing it at 100%.
