Font option for double-width characters.

[fengyichui]

Vim has two font options: guifont, guifontwide. The guifontwide is used for double-width characters.

I like Consolas to display English and YaHei for Chinese(double-width). Consolas display Chinese is ugly.

Could there be a option for double-width characters?

Duplicate of #580.
This is something that can be done, but there are some design issues:

• Should a secondary font be specific for CJK or should there be a more generic mechanism, so also a secondary font could be specified for other scripts? And how could such a mechanism be configured?
• Should Windows font fallback be considered in any way or should this simply override it?

Thanks very much! The fontlink worked!

The following dosbatch adds my favorite Chinese fonts (run as administrator and reboot):

REG ADD "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fontlink\SystemLink" /v Consolas /t REG_MULTI_SZ /d "MSYH.TTC,Microsoft YaHei UI,128,96"\0"MSYH.TTC,Microsoft YaHei UI"\0"Arial.TTF,Arial,128,96"\0"Arial.TTF,Arial"

Mintty now supports script-specific secondary fonts, option FontChoice. Configuration example:

FontChoice=Hebrew:6;Arabic:7;Han:8;Hangul:9
Font6=David
Font7=Simplified Arabic Fixed
Font8=FangSong
Font9=MingLiU
