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≤∞ Unicode example of the recent https://blog.orange.tw/posts/2025-01-worstfit-unveiling-hidden-transformers-in-windows-ansi/ article using the same FontChoice mechanism The MingLiu font rendering of 'π' is unreadable.
