half- and full-width CJK characters

[Dr Bean via Cygwin]

I am memorializing this for my own benefit here.

Benefitting from https://eng-blog.iij.ad.jp/archives/12576
I see that I don't need to change any envars, but only fonts.

The default Lucida Console font renders CJK as half-width chars, on 
this PC with 3 Windows language packs.

With MS ゴシック, Japanese かな and 漢字 look good.
Traditional Chinese ㄅㄛˋㄆㄛˋㄇㄛˋand 漢字 look good.
Korean 한글 doesn't look good. It looks like they're
half-width characters drawn with the space for one full-width 
character.

I wonder if this is a problem with the Korean language pack.

Please describe the context of your observations (preferably a test 
case); do you have an issue inside the Cygwin Terminal?

Re: Setup Ver 2.926 (64bit):can't file extract from qt5-webkit-debuginfo

I could reproduce that issue, no time yet to dig deeper.  It looks like
the decompressor loses track of where it is, then uses whatever data
comes after that to try and extract the next file (which obviously
doesn't look like it's expected to).


Both GNU tar and bsdtar (from libarchive) decompress the archive
correctly, so that would allow you to install manually.  Looking at the
file that produces the failure, it is quite a bit larger than 2GiB, so I
think that this simply means that the canned tar extractor in setup.exe
is just not large-file safe.


I hadn't realised that file was so large when decompressed: that definitely 
looks like a 32 bit signed overflow issue: changing the signed offset(s) or 
size(s) to unsigned, or size_t if larger, should eliminate future issues.

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.

Judging by the name (which has Katakana characters), ＭＳ ゴシック is a Japanese 
font, so maybe it simply does not have any special Korean ideographs and the 
Windows font fallback mechanism substitutes some unsuitable font.
You should try to find a specific Korean font, I doubt ＭＳ ゴシック was 
provided by the Korean language pack. I could try to reproduce the issue if you 
tell me which font it is. As far as I know, the CJK names are only used with 
respective language packs installed, otherwise the same font can be addresses by 
an alternative name. You could also look up the font filename (in the Windows 
Fonts folder) to identify it. Thomas


Package fontconfig utilities fc-list, fc-match, fc-query are your friends here 
to match by character set ranges or language codes and give you the file or font 
names: here I have installed all non-MS Windows fonts as symlinks under 
/usr/share/fonts/windows/ e.g.
