Command prompt unicode

Post by Fraser »

I have found the font NSimSun displays some unicode characters but it is limited. Has anyone found a better font that can be used?

That one's a Simplified Chinese font, so it will only represent the Western characters in CP 1252 / ISO Latin-1.

If you like the look, I'm not sure I know of any other monospaced fonts that have the same tall with serifs look *and* all of the typical Unicode glyphs. I use Inconsolata or B612 Mono for console work, but they're both mostly sans-serif.
