tested with Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. Test A ------
install: usr/share/fonts/noto/NotoSansMyanmar-Regular.ttf from: noto-myanmar-fonts Link font (need relog after): set 'HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontLink\SystemLink' reg add "$1" /t REG_MULTI_SZ /v Consolas /d NotoSansMyanmar-Regular.ttf test.txt: U+1000 MYANMAR LETTER KA [က] Set font for cmd.exe to Consolas and test: chcp 65001 type test.txt Test B ------ set font for mintty.exe to Consolas and test: chcp.com 65001 cat test.txt Results ------- Both tests pass with Windows 8.1. With Windows 7, only the cmd.exe test will pass. I am of the position that if cmd.exe passes on Windows 7, then mintty should as well.
