Subject: Mintty fails to render 3 byte UTF-8 on Windows 7
To: cygwin@cygwin.com
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8; format=flowed
User-Agent: Tryst/2.8.0 (cup.github.io/tryst)

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
    [က]

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.
