error when run cat ~/.config/emoji

[smikeblog]

Hi, Luke!
There is smth wrong in st
the error when I run st from default terminal - gnome-terminal on Manjaro
give
~ ❯❯❯ st
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: 4315
Current serial number in output stream: 4467

The emoji is your emoji file
On tilix or gnome-terminal there is no error and terminal doesn'n crash.

I was able to fix it downloading the font Symbola that have a lot of representations for emojis

Thanks!
I installed symbola font but unfortunately that doesn't solve the problem. cat command crashed the terminal.

This error seems to be from Xft (the font drawing library) and not from st, as noted in st's FAQ, there it suggests to either not use color emoji fonts, disable its usage in the fontconfig configuration or use the ugly workaround (which I use and can say it works perfectly), by adding it in one of the font loading functions in x.c, but it makes emoji colorless or render as a square.

For those who want to use the ugly workaround, The code suggested in the FAQ requires that there is a FcPattern called fcpattern, and there's only one function that has that: xmakeglyphfontspecs, so I added it after FcPatternAddBool(fcpattern, FC_SCALABLE, 1); a little before line 1400, if someone thinks there's a better place to put it, tell me

Using symbola (st -f "ttf-symbola") worked for me too!

There is only one function call: FcPatternAddBool(fcpattern, FC_SCALABLE, 1); in x.c, so I changed it to FcPatternAddBool(fcpattern, FC_SCALABLE, FcFalse);. compiled st again, it works but emoji will disappear?
