fontconfig: Set up fallback fonts In case a glyph is absent in the default font, st uses font-config and tries to find them in font cache first. This also seems to work for all VTE terminals. However, alacritty relies on system configuration and does not do the above. To fix this, we need specify a fallback font manually. This also seems good practice in general otherwise. For reference, see the below links. https://st.suckless.org/patches/font2/ https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/issues/3690 https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fonts#Fallback_font_order https://eev.ee/blog/2015/05/20/i-stared-into-the-fontconfig-and-the-fontconfig-stared-back-at-me/ Also our use of galaxyline plugin for neovim requires nvim-web-devicons which in turn requires a patched font like Nerd font. 2020-11-17 06:16:01 +01:00			`<?xml version="1.0"?>`
