Description Sassan Haradji 2018-04-28 18:47:59 UTC
Firstly I wanna thank you for all your efforts on this terminal emulator. I found it the only robust emulator in linux with all the features I need. I have a minor problem with persian characters in my setup:
I  set a fallback font in fontconf in monospace family alias. If I add it to sans-serif alias it works as a fallback font for persian characters in Konsole. But it doesn't work when I set it in monospace alias.
I should set it in monospace alias because it's a monospace font and I don't want it to be used by other non-monospace apps.
Let me know if I should provide any details about my configs.

Fallback to fixed width fonts

Summary:
Before this commit when Konsole was trying to render a character that
didn't exist in the font selected by user, it'd fall back to default font provided
by font config without any hints that it needs monospace fonts which usually
would be a sans font.

Now Konsole hints system that it needs a monospace font.
