Linux Xft Unicode fonts.
Dear Lazyweb, can someone show me a straightforward example of an X11 program calling XftDrawStringUtf8 that succeeds in displaying Japanese characters? On Debian 13 with "fonts-noto" installed, "lxterminal" can do it but XScreenSaver still can't seem to display anything more complicated than Cyrillic.
E.g. "unicrud --block Katakana".

I am now being informed that in this -- The Year of our Linux Desktop 2026 -- it is impossible to take an arbitrary UTF-8 string and render all of the characters in it.
You just can't get there from here.
Good to know.

@jwz redhat 7 was pretty hot. Enlightenment 0.16 was da bom

@jwz is it because no font contains all existing Unicode glyphs, or is there another reason?

L'inquinamento di aria, acque e terre, che stanno provocando le attuali guerre, è devastante. E sicuramente irreversibile.
Ma per le "nazi-coppettare" il problema per l'ecologia mondiale sei tu che scegli di usare gli assorbenti usa e getta.
Non mi avrete mai con quelle schifezze della coppetta e delle mutande mestruali 🤮🤮🤮
