Support fancy characters on Windows 10 #267

Windows 10's command prompt now has a nice monospace font with Unicode support by default in the console. Right now, controls like the checkbox look kind of awful on Windows, unlike *nix: http://i.imgur.com/TNvSgRz.png

Would it be possible to support Windows 10 as a first-class character system in Inquirer?

The symbols inquirer is using are provided by: https://github.com/sindresorhus/figures

You should open an issue over there! (please link to this issue so we have a trace)

@SBoudrias: I opened an issue on the repository and submitted a fix for io.js to make this all work out.

I have doubts that this will land in figures all that soon, would you be open to using a fork of inquirer until functionality like that would be merged? I'm not familiar with npm etiquette on that subject.

I submitted a pull request here which also links back to the repository, which is up-to-date.

EDIT: This isn't a good idea, upon further testing none of the symbols from figures are in Consolas, which means none of them are usable by default on Windows, even 10+. What a shame.
