i guess i can live without color emojis lol really, i dont care about displaying emojis at all, i just wanted dwm not crashing because of some :). i agree that having dwm depend on some huge graphics lib is not desirable. can anyone think of a way to catch and ignore teh error at least? i managed to catch it on xerror(), and it prevented dwm from exiting, but it remained unusable. or perhaps substitute color emojis with black and white ones on teh fly? <3 PS: im X11 noob -- Igor
