Bad renderring on Windows #37

I've installed patched Source Code Pro (SourceCodePro+Powerline+Awesome+Regular.ttf). And it doesn't render well in a console application (MSYS2 mintty) or a GUI application (notepad), here is a screenshot (mintty in background, notepad in foreground):

For a comparison, here is the rendering of Source Code Pro unpatched (https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-code-pro/releases/tag/2.030R-ro/1.050R-it):

BTW https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts provide fonts renderring well. The downside is that extra symbols codes don't seem to match.
