Subject: Mintty fails to render 3 byte UTF-8 on Windows 7
Date: Fri, 12 Oct 2018 03:18:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5bc01270.1c69fb81.d7fc.08c8@mx.google.com> (raw)
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
[á]
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.
