Ignoring fonts that contain colour emoji seems to me like the best way to handle this unfortunate situation. Just a week or two ago dwm crashed on me because of some stupid colour emoji so your patch comes just in time. I will run dwm with the patch applied for a while just to see if I encounter any issues even though I don't expect to. Cheers, Silvan
