I think your patch is buggy as I have noticed two strange behaviours. I recompiled st, launched my music player, and I had some Japanese characters that have normally rendered fine for me render as rectangles. Upon closing and re-opening st, they rendered correctly again; see attached "non-rendering-characters.png". Unfortunately, I can't seem to reproduce the problem, but since I've never experienced anything like that before and use st with Asian characters on a daily basis, your change seems to be the most likely suspect. On top that, the size in which st renders the missing-character-rectangles has also spontaneously changed*. This is easy to reproduce by reverting the st git repo and recompiling st; see attached "font-size-change.png". * I cannot explain why, in the first screenshot, the rectangles are large instead of small.
