I tried to say before that I have done that (I saw the closed bug about 
this and made sure to follow the instructions there). Unchecking that 
setting about language-specific hiding made a whole bunch of other 
(presumably Asian) fonts show up in mintty, but still no Liberation Mono.

The font is officially installed, officially showing, and usable by just 
about everything except mintty. Most apps (like Word) picked it up 
immediately.

Very odd...
