xt font makes UTF-8 unreadable in prompt #336
Comments
Is this a typo? I would expect a UTF-8 capable font is being able to display UTF-8 characters, regardless of how it's specified. |

|
The title mentions the prompt; while this should probably be an issue in the contrib repo, it does sound like an xmonad issue |
no, about prompts. Go to window: Bring window: etc. |
I tried capital letters in different places and different fonts. While the font visibly changed, the problem remained |
I don't think it's a typo, I was able to reproduce the as well (the exact
font is in my config, I'd link to it later today)

So I was looking into this a bit yesterday and it's definitely not just an issue with printing. At least the font that we open via |
