msysgit: Unicode font warning

Question

Recently I am getting this error when using msysgit, in particular when there is some non-ASCII content generated by the git output:

warning: Your console font probably doesn't support Unicode. If you experience strange characters in the output, consider switching to a TrueType font such as Lucida Console!

The funny thing is that although that message is telling me that my font doesn't support Unicode, it actually does and the text in question is displayed correctly (in the correct encoding & with all characters displayed).

The sad thing is that I don't find a way to disable this message. I tried changing the font in the Git Bash (I usually use PowerShell) but when I checked the font there, I noticed that it was actually already set to Lucida Console, and the warning appears in that same console too. So I'm a bit clueless what to do to fix this, or at least stop msysgit from printing this warning all the time.

I tried reinstalling msysgit, also with the option selected that is supposed to set the font to Lucida Console, but it didn't help. What can I do?

Actually it is talking about changing the font in your Command Prompt.
