Well, are you using st with glyphs that require fallback fonts? I wonder if at suckless we should aim for the general purpose. I weigh code clarity and consistency higher than being able to render all kinds of glyphs through fallback font declarations. If a user needs to display cyrillic, there are plain old xfonts with excellent support. Best regards, Anselm
