Hello,
Unfortunately, I remember having terminus not rendering some kind of
unicode characters not even emojis. I think it was some drawing characters.
Many tools like to use those characters (just even tree).
Is freetype/fontconfig the only way to implement fallback characters? I
remember when dwm switched to Xft a while back ago, I was surprised at
first but if that choice was made I think there were a lot of good
reasons isn't it?
Also, I'm not sure if many bitmap fonts render correctly on 4k screens.
I just love how Fira Mono renders on mine. But I should test some.
