Font fallback
xsrvmy opened this issue · 3 comments
When typing with fcitx5 IME in a qt application, if a character is not in the font set from the fcitx5 settings, I get a tofu. When the same happens in a gtk application, the character falls back to a different font without this problem. I also don't get colored emoji's either.
Is this repo the source of the problem? Or is it just QT's fallback mechanism causing issues?
Should clarify that I am on wayland.
While you're using wayland, you're most likely using the input panel rendered by qt with in the application.
With that being said. 
I certainly can get colored emoji in qt, even if I selected some other font like dejavu but using noto emoji.
What's your font in the configuration?
I am using a weirder Chinese font (LXGW)
Maybe I just need to set things up in font-config. GTK actually is able to figure out the font fallback on it's own.
I tried some custom qt font and get same behavior.
not fcitx5-qt's problem.
