Created attachment 250528 [details] pkg-message to hint about color glyph problems with xterm/urxvt Hi, with the latest update, most fonts of this package can't be used in xterm(1) and urxvt(1) anymore, which was not a problem with version 0.054. Error: xterm: unable to open font "", trying "fixed".... 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: 88 Current serial number in output stream: 897 According to similar problems with noto-ColorEmoji fonts, the reason apparently is the upstream fix for https://github.com/cormullion/juliamono/issues/201 in 0.055 (adding color glyph). None of the Qt5 and GTK3 based apps which I tested are affected (kate, gedeit)! And the 'Latin' version still works in xterm(1) e.g., but the difference might be not that obvious to everybody. Maybe the the attached pkg-message helps people who update or browse fonts for their xterm...
Comment on attachment 250528 [details] pkg-message to hint about color glyph problems with xterm/urxvt Ouch! Thanks for noticing this and explaining why. I agree that this note should probably be added. Maybe use "etc." instead of "e.g." in the pkg-message, but the message is clear.
(In reply to Trenton Schulz from comment #1) Do you resp. can you commit? Replacing e.g. with etc is much better - please adjust, whoever can commit. Thanks!
