After pango 1.44.1 update, characters like q, g, j or _ are cut off.
I reported bug in pango, but it could be that problem is in i3.

It would be nice if you could help in bug investigation.

I don’t see a link to logs.i3wm.org. Did you follow https://i3wm.org/docs/debugging.html? (In case you actually provided a link to a logfile, please ignore me.)
