I need to display symbols above in Windows 7 using proportional fonts. However, some symbols are not properly displayed. This particular example is using Courier New
.
I have English(US) set in my regional settings.
Update:
The ultimate goal is to show in PuTTY this
As you can see on the left side there are many special chars.
Now see what I get with DejaVu Mono
font.
This one with Courier New
This one with Consolas
This one with Inconsolata
This is test output with DejaVu Sans Mono
.
Now compare those with the screenshot right below Update

Not all fonts support all symbols - are you looking for a proportional font with wide symbol support, or a way to get these characters in a particular font? – dsolimano – 2012-02-25T03:16:14.190
@dsolimano: Proportional font with wide symbol support, because I need to see those symbols in Putty. Moreover, it has to be Unicode font. – Pablo – 2012-02-25T03:19:13.330
I think you mean monospace not proportional (Courier New is a monospace font). – jhenninger – 2012-02-25T03:27:30.793
Fixed width in other words ) – Pablo – 2012-02-25T03:38:19.703
I’m confused, why can’t you just use
– Synetech – 2012-02-25T04:19:45.217Courier New
if it has the glyps you need?@Synetech: plz see my update and thanks for editing title. I originally thought it's possible to simplify the question, but looks like it's more complex. – Pablo – 2012-02-25T04:36:01.377
You only need to set the font in PuTTY, but the trick is finding a good font that has the glyphs you need. Where did you get the screenshot of Notepad? Did you make it yourself or find it on the Internet? Also, what is the app in the first screenshot (purple title bar)? Where did you get that screenshot? – Synetech – 2012-02-25T04:39:24.867
@Synetech: it's my PC, where Putty also is running. Just copied the glympses to my notepad. The app is Pyroscope, which is rtorrent extension. It is terminal app. Screenshot from wiki http://code.google.com/p/pyroscope/wiki/ScreenShotGallery
– Pablo – 2012-02-25T04:43:38.013You might want to try some of the fonts listed here. They support the High Voltage symbol, which is one of the two

appears to have trouble with.Segoe UI Symbol
works, but it's not monospaced. Really,DejaVu Sans Mono
should have worked (see WakiMiko's answer below). Oddly enough, this lists those arrows yourDejaVu
screenshot is struggling with as existing inDejaVu Serif
, notDejaVu Sans
. They seem to work inDejaVu Sans
for me.Make sure putty is set to utf-8, if it isn't. – Rob – 2012-02-25T05:04:53.353
@Bob:
DejaVu Sans Mono
really doesn't work for me, could it mean there is something else in the system/Putty/shell env vars to tweak? – Pablo – 2012-02-25T05:06:10.233@Rob: it's set to UTF-8. – Pablo – 2012-02-25T05:06:44.787
