This has been a giant mess but I have a solution now. Primary font: Bitstream Vera Primary monospace font: Hack Then I have Nerd Font Symbols (2048 em non-mono) for powerline, fontawesome, etc glyphs. Non-mono because mono shrinks the glyphs vertically an unreasonable amount. Same reason I'm not using the nerd-font patched ttf-hack. I have to use Hack over Bitstream Vera Sans mono because Bitstream specifies a few glyphs used in powerline and they're not shaped right, for example the triangular ends of banners. Hack fixes this. Then there's the complete Google Noto set. Noto is "Everything" when installed with the noto-fonts, CJK, and Emoji. You have to explicitly declare wanting the color emoji or you get the black and white stuff. Noto provides a few misc glyphs that Hack and Nerd Font Symbols both don't, like heavy check and heavy ballot x which are used in my shell prompt. With noto-fonts installed and my userland fontconfig using prepends for the fonts I want, the entire giant Noto set falls in as a fallback behind it all without needing to be defined. This sucked to suss out; trying to avoid Google stuff made it 100x more complicated and I just kind of gave up. |
