Hello Guix,
my terminal is displaying question marks instead of the € (UTF-8) character.
I'm using the DejaVu Sans Mono font, declared as a package in my desktop.scm
file and configured in .alacritty.yml. The same thing happens with Kitty, Foot
and other fonts.
fc-cache -rv was executed. I'm running Sway as a window manager.
In Emacs GUI the € character is displayed correctly.
Furthermore, the browser is not displaying emojis properly. Here for example
https://emojidissector.com/ my browser is showing some square boxes with
numbers instead of emojis.
Even if the config I pasted below does not include any package for emojis, I
had no success trying to declare one and reconfigure everything.
My desktop.scm:
