*glances at federated timeline* oh i guess there really is no character limit on masto huh

attempting to replace the gio shit in my uim/mozc monitor script with lua socket cos i dont want to have a dependency on gnome just to listen to a goddamn socket

problem is, socket.unix is absent from the documentation, so im running entirely off of github issues here,

weird that they decided not to do eurovision this year

also me: *continues to order more sex toys*

god i cant believe i actually have opinions about terminal fonts now

i gotta get off this slippery slope before i start wearing grotty polo shirts and writing diatribes against emacs

after a lot of digging i eventually found ricty, a font which combines inconsolata and migu 1m and solves my font problems

gnu unifont:
pros: extreme coverage
cons: looks like shit

it seems like, with the whole fullwidth/halfwidth thing, there just isnt any font (or combination of fallbacks) that makes both roman and jp characters look nice at the same time

burning my brain into the ground trying to find a good setup for displaying jp text in my terminal

in the end i gave up and went back to my old setup - droid sans mono falling back on noto sans mono cjk jp

(i just had to add it manually to stop apps using sazanami for everything)

@maple oh huh, weird

still, im gonna see if i can stop it doing that,

so for some reason, by default, noto doesnt seem to add itself to fontconfig. weird shit

im kinda getting used to koichi substitute actually but.... backslashes are replaced with.... whatever this is. not sure about that one.

(yes i've tried noto it looks ok but the roman characters on noto sans mono cjk jp look, weird)

Show thread

does anyone have any recommendations for cjk fonts (jp specifically) that look nice in a terminal? ive tried sazanami and koichi substitute but they seem to be pixel fonts which, im not super hot on really, not for a terminal i spend a couple hours a day or more lookin at

just watched the real time fandubs of sonic adventure 2, my face hurts from laughing holy shit
