This is a known bug in Xft (not st) which happens on some platforms and |
|
|
|
|
|
combination of particular fonts and fontconfig settings. |

The solution is to remove color emoji fonts or disable this in the fontconfig |
|
|
|
|
|
XML configuration. As an ugly workaround (which may work only on newer |
|
|
|
|
|
fontconfig versions (FC_COLOR)), the following code can be used to mask color |
|
|
|
|
|
fonts: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
FcPatternAddBool(fcpattern, FC_COLOR, FcFalse); |

Please don't bother reporting this bug to st, but notify the upstream Xft |
|
|
|
|
|
developers about fixing this bug. |
