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≤∞
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?
