Unicode is too big. There are fonts that allegedly cover everything, but they don't. We are using "Noto" fonts... noto stands for "No Tofu" wher tofu is that empty square replacement char that looks like a piece of tofu. And yet... we still get tofu.

I installed all the noto- fonts packages on my archlinux, but it doesn't help. Are the fonts embedded in the binary, by any chance? Do I have to recompile it, and should I configure fonts in some way when I do?

Yeah gossip ships it's own fonts so it doesn't break on the thousands of variations of systems and how they all do fonts differently.

In the main directory there is a fonts/ folder, and in gossip-bin/src/ui/theme/mod.rs the fonts get loaded in font_definitions(). You can try adding your own and then compiling.
