I am using st. My fonts in fonts.conf seem to be falling back correctly.
This is the monospace block:

<family>monospace</family>
        <prefer>
            <family>Noto Sans Mono</family>
            <family>Sarasa Term SC</family>
                  <family>Sarasa Term TC</family>
                  <family>Sarasa Term J</family>
            <family>Libertinus Mono</family>
            <family>FontAwesome</family>
            <family>Braille</family>
        </prefer>

When I print a list of folder with non-ascii names it appears like this:

??  ??  ???  ???  ???  ???  ???  ???  ???  ???  ???  ???  ???  ???  ???  ???  ???  ???
??  ??  ???  ???  ???  ???  ???  ???  ???  ???  ???  ???  ???  ???  ???  ???  ???

odd gazelle

why do you have a folder for ascii?

odd gazelle Nov 26, 2024, 11:13 PM

#

it's for my music library, I separate artists into "first letter" folders. And then all non-ascii into a separate folger
