Created attachment 618464 [details] emerge --info I could not find another person who could confirm this bug. It is system-wide issue with x11-libs/pango that affects swaywm, gnome-terminal and possibly other software using pango. pango-view behaviour is identical to those. I tried different fonts, like media-fonts/hack, and I have two hypotheses: A) Fallback is not working correctly in pango, and somehow in alacritty it works (it shows glyph looking a lot like crying face), but gnome-terminal, sway title bar etc shows empty space. How to reproduce: 1. pango-view --text="2137 (😥) y3110w pop3" --output=pango.png --no-display 2. xdg-open pango.png what I see: https://pasteboard.co/IYUciLfs.png B) Noto emoji fonts do not work at all. How to reproduce: 1. pango-view --text="2137 (😥) y3110w pop3" --font='Noto Color Emoji 50' --output=pango.png --no-display 2. xdg-open pango.png what I see: https://pasteboard.co/IYUcRY6.png what I guess I should see: https://i.imgur.com/UI22gpD.png (sent by u/triffid_hunter on reddit). We see there that emoji clearly belongs to noto-emoji and numbers are in some unknown fallback font.
