Sorry, forgot to assign this back in April. Hope the exams went well! You should be able to assign issues to yourself now, let me know if you need anything...

Thanks for the report. To be honest, I've been following GLib's convention here and assuming my identifiers are reasonably unique and unlikely to clash with anything in the language implementation....

Sounds like an interesting project. We could definitely ship such a font with Chafa and support it with --symbols.

> Let's move forward a bit: update the font generator and really ship a (basically working) font file? Sounds good to me. I don't like to keep generated blobs in...

Yeah, I was just thinking about the overhead of parsing about a megabyte of JSON on startup. However, I think we could go for a better solution where Chafa just...

Chafa would then have a switch, e.g. --font-glyphs _fontfile.ttf_ which would import glyphs from a font and map them to their respective Unicode code points. You could even specify it...

It's in master now. Here's how to use it: `chafa --glyph-file chafa8x8.ttf --symbols 0x100000..0x101000` The font loading is a little bit slow, and I need to fine tune the bitmap...

Interesting idea. We'd have to change the core algorithm, but it shouldn't be too hard. To avoid a combinatorial explosion, we could find the best-fit base symbol first and then...

Yes, I think all of those should be included. Thanks for pointing it out!

Adding these didn't change the overall story (and I wouldn't expect it to, since the total dataset is big), but recent years were beefed up a little, especially 2020 and...
