controversial: terminus looks bad actually

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)

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)

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

wait i know exactly why it looks like that,

it's a widget that tracks what input mode mozc is currently in, all it does is display a ー for direct mode and a あ for hiragana mode

that's it. thats all it does.

this took a whole ass day,

i spent all day elbow-deep in awesome wm's guts just to get it to do... this.

(no i dont know why the aspect ratio is like that, simplescreenrecorder wild for this one)

i mean i do also want it integrated just cos it'll look nicer but the "systray becoming deprecated" thing was the kick in the ass i needed to get me to actually do this shit

what im digging around in here for is, i've been having display issues with uim-toolbar-gtk3-systray, and on looking for solutions i found out that gnome has ditched the systray entirely, so im trying to set up a widget that displays the current uim mode since i expect this issue will never be fixed

i dont know when i started using "/!\ GOOD PROGRAMMER ALERT /!\" instead of "FIXME" but i dont intend to stop

digging thru my awesome wm config, unearthing my past sins,

wow this week's sarazanmai was a lot,
