rx777: in the sources it go tos a google font or two. Lato, Arvo. I guess it depends on where you want to "display" the characters
rx777 2017-03-02 06:52:34
Shadow_7: I just want to display the characters from the box in the center
rx777 2017-03-02 06:52:48
I didn't have this problem on XFCE, but I do on i3

rx777: katakana from a japanese syllabary, so a kaomoji. &shrug;
rx777 2017-03-02 06:58:27
Shadow_7: seems like I was missing Unicode fonts, installed unifont and the problem is now solved.
