I'm also using Monaco for xfce4-terminal. But I guess xfce4-terminal implicitly handles unicode symbol errors and such. I'll try to try out every fonts in my cache, but it would be exhausting.
By the way, I tried to launch st from another st instance and did `echo $'\U1F50D'`. The new st instance crashed and the output in the old st instance was the following. ``` X Error of failed request: BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length error) Major opcode of failed request: 139 (RENDER) Minor opcode of failed request: 20 (RenderAddGlyphs) Serial number of failed request: 1353 Current serial number in output stream: 1392 ``` Maybe this error catch could provide some insight?
