Different Font for the Lambda

[schodge]

Is it possible to specify a different font for the lambda? Source Code Pro doesn't seem to have the character, so I was wondering if it was possible to use Consolas only for that. There's a pseudographics font option in the settings, but it doesn't seem to have an impact there.

Also, going to tag on one other question because I think it's silly user error. I find that shift-home, even with the appropriate settings on, often winds up selecting the prompt and sticks me in a mode where I can't seem to do anything. Is there a better way to select text back to the start of the prompt? Thanks.

IIRC the default font for Conemu is now Consolas too. So if you set it to Source Code Pro, I will fallback to Consolas. Or if you are ninja and you are willing to spend some time. You can modify the source of Source Code Pro add lambda and build your own font.

When I change the font to SCP, the lambda becomes a block with an x through it - it doesn't appear to be falling back.

Would you mind reopening this issue? The auto-fallback doesn't seem to be working on my machines. Thanks.

This issue should be reopened. It still exists. I'm trying to use Hoefler Operator Mono and it is not falling back to consoles for the lambda char.

I'm also using Operator Mono that doesn't have a lambda character.

Ran into this as well. Downloaded and installed the latest version of Source Code Pro font (download here) and that solved the issue.

Please reopen this issue and fix this. You cannot expect everyone to create/modify a font to add a Lambda character.
