## Why do images not work in st (in programs such as w3m)?
|
||||
|
||||
This is a terrible hack that overdraws an image on top of the terminal emulator
|
||||
window. It also relies on a very specific way the terminal draws it's contents.
|
||||
|
||||
A more proper (but limited way) would be using sixels. Which st doesn't
|
||||
support.

## BadLength X error in Xft when trying to render emoji
|
||||
|
||||
Xft makes st crash when rendering color emojis with the following error:
|
||||
|
||||
"X Error of failed request: BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length error)"
|
||||
Major opcode of failed request: 139 (RENDER)
|
||||
Minor opcode of failed request: 20 (RenderAddGlyphs)
|
||||
Serial number of failed request: 1595
|
||||
Current serial number in output stream: 1818"
|
||||
|
||||
This is a known bug in Xft (not st) which happens on some platforms and
|
||||
combination of particular fonts and fontconfig settings.

||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
The solution is to remove color emoji fonts or disable this in the fontconfig
|
||||
XML configuration. As an ugly workaround (which may work only on newer
|
||||
fontconfig versions (FC_COLOR)), the following code can be used to mask color
|
||||
fonts:
|
||||
|
||||
FcPatternAddBool(fcpattern, FC_COLOR, FcFalse);
|
||||
|
||||
Please don't bother reporting this bug to st, but notify the upstream Xft
|
||||
developers about fixing this bug.
