That's a Windows 7 feature: it hides most fonts by default. Clicking on the 
'Show more fonts' link in the font selection dialog will take you to the fonts 
folder where you can right-click on fonts and select 'Show'.

Hi, tried exactly what you did and most if not all the fonts were already being 
shown? However, i toyed around with it and get more fonts showing up but theyre 
all chinese ones..

So what fonts are you actually missing? Are they marked as 'Show' in the font 
folder, such that their icon appears normally rather than faint? Only monospace 
fonts such as Consolas, Fixedsys, or Courier New will be offered in mintty.

ps: You might have to restart mintty for changes in the fonts folder to be 
reflected in the font selection dialog.
