Another example for such misbehaviour is the Tibetan block (U+0F00-U+0FFF). Mintty could work around that by rendering characters separately, at a significant penalty for output speed however. Or it could do that only for affected ranges, but criteria to identify them are obscure.

> My previous comment was wrong, sorry. The cause of the issue is that the Windows CJK fonts are designed for CJK ambiguous-wide layout. If you run mintty with option Charwidth=ambig-wide, or better in an ambiguous-wide locale like LC_CTYPE=C DOT utf8 AT cjkwide, width handling and font rendering will match.
> Mintty applies auto-narrowing to some characters that would render far out of their character cell, squeezing them into the cell, in order to optimise the trade-off between readability and authentic rendering.

Thank you, Thomas!

I overlooked 'man mintty'.

It works expectedly under the setting.


I'd be happy if the option Charwidth is accessible from GUI.

Regards,

Lem
