No I mean the Windows bat, cmd command line, or lnk shortcut property command
that launches your mintty window.

Only issue I see is that this font should have 7mm high lines, so either you
have a huge screen with smallish windows in them, or you could be running with
some accessibility or scaling software that could interfere. What is your screen
