`sudo apt install unifont` and restarting the computer does **not** solve the problem for me, and it can still be reproduced via:
``` git init testrepo cd testrepo git commit --allow-empty -m 💎 gitk ``` This might be because I also have manually installed `~/.fonts/NotoColorEmoji.ttf` in order to show color emoji. And the color emoji does show correctly in terminal (see attachment), but it will still crash gitk. ** Attachment added: "correct-color-emoji.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/git/+bug/1852985/+attachment/5497278/+files/correct-color-emoji.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1852985 Title: X Error of failed request: BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length error) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/git/+bug/1852985/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
