This solved the problem I was having with half-width Korean characters. 
Because the MingLiu font was good for Japanese and Latin text, and the 
good Korean Malgun Gothic font did not draw Japanese characters well, I have in 
.minttyrc:

Font=MingLiU
Font2=Malgun Gothic
FontChoice=Hangul:2

This works without problem.

I'm now looking for a math font to render the 

√π⁷≤∞

Unicode example of the recent 
https://blog.orange.tw/posts/2025-01-worstfit-unveiling-hidden-transformers-in-windows-ansi/
article using the same FontChoice mechanism 

The MingLiu font rendering of 'π' is unreadable.

Does anyone have suggestions for a math font?
