All mintty contexts. Viewing this email in an SSH session in screen
to a remote tmux session on freeshell.org, writing this reply in vim, 
and changing the mintty font option from ,

Font=Lucida Console
to
Font=MS ゴシック

the above CJK characters change appearance from half-width to full-width,
except for the Korean 한글, which doesn't change appearance.

Attaching to the tmux session on freeshell, sshing in from my
phone with Termius, the characters don't change, of course.

I'm not suggesting there's anything wrong with the default mintty font
option of Lucida Console. It looks good.

I am on the lookout for a good font for viewing korean 한글, so I 
don't have to magnify the screen to read it.

By the way, thanks for mintty. It is a joy to use.
