In the mintty font option dropdown there are at least 2 (4?) fonts giving full-width Korean 한글 here. I have the Windows Korean language pack installed. They are with filenames in /cygdrive/c/windows/Fonts: BatangChe batang.ttc DotumChe gulim.ttc GulimChe gulim.ttc GungsuhChe batang.ttc And ＭＳ ゴシック msgothic.ttc (the ＭＳ chars are full-width) doesn't result in full-width hangul. So, I've found a suitable font for Korean 한글. -- Greg Matheson Practitioners just do it. http://drbean.sdf.org Reflective Practitioners just think they drb...@freeshell.org did it. -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
