-## BadLength X error in Xft when trying to render emoji
-
-Xft makes st crash when rendering color emojis with the following error:
-
-"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: 1595
- Current serial number in output stream: 1818"
-
-This is a known bug in Xft (not st) which happens on some platforms and
-combination of particular fonts and fontconfig settings.
-
-See also:
-https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libxft/issues/6

-https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1498269
-
-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.
