I totally agree. I'd be in favour in a st just using plain X fonts. This emoji unicode porn and anti-aliasing TTF support doesn't make sense to me. The pattern here is thinking really longterm. The XFont* calls have been pretty damn stable for two decades, whereas this freetype shit breaks every year. On each new install I need to fiddle with font paths font caches, weird config files etc. It has to stop. Best regards, Anselm
