" The font fallback in dwm and dmenu is handled via libsl (i.e drw.c) and it's a huge mess [0]. The way it works is also very inefficient (it calls XftFontMatch() for every single "unknown" code-point). The `nomatches` cache is merely there to stop the bleeding and is not really a proper fix. " This part specificly. The tone if very whiny. It doesn't help complaining the code is a mess or improper without proposing a patch. -- Kind regards, Hiltjo
