How do you get mintty to see Liberation Mono? I downloaded the family 
from redhat, installed it on my w7-x64 machine, made sure it was set to 
'show,' and started a fresh mintty, but it still can't find the font. 
Even unchecking 'hide fonts based on language settings' in 'font 
settings' didn't help (made a lot of other fonts appear, tho).

(For now I'm using Lucida Console)

Thanks,
Ryan
