By the way, as CJK fonts are usually not very suitable for Latin text
(mostly not being monowidth in the first place), there is a useful
mechanism in mintty that allows you to use your favourite CJK and
non-CJK fonts together. It's the FontChoice setting for secondary
fonts:
Font=Lucida Console
Font2=ＭＳ ゴシック
FontChoice=CJK:2
This solved the problem I was having with half-width Korean characters.
Because the MingLiu font was good for Japanese and Latin text, and the
good Korean Malgun Gothic font did not draw Japanese characters well, I have in
.minttyrc:
Font=MingLiU
Font2=Malgun Gothic
FontChoice=Hangul:2
This works without problem.
I'm now looking for a math font to render the
√π⁷≤∞
Most fonts I checked, including Consolas and my favourite DejaVu Sans
Mono, render these characters well.
Unicode example of the recent

article using the same FontChoice mechanism
The MingLiu font rendering of 'π' is unreadable.
Does anyone have suggestions for a math font?
