The objective was to strike a balance between utmost precision and succinctness, so the tip is helpful. Indeed, fontconfig is not directly tied to X windows, but for practical purposes, I presumed the vast majority of user-facing applications using fontconfig run under X Windows (now that Wayland is a thing, I should have used a more generic phrase like "Under a graphical environment..."). Removing the qualifier seems to imply fc-list will always be useful, which isn't the case. Does the tweaked text that includes 'may be helpful' work for you? Joe ### To determine which fonts provide a particular Unicode character, fc-list from the fontconfig package may be helpful. For example, if your friend complains that the emoji you sent won't display, run fc-list with the hex value of the character to determine which font your friend should install. $ fc-list ':charset=3D0x1F4A1' /usr/local/share/fonts/noto/NotoColorEmoji.ttf: Noto Color Emoji:style=3DRe= gular $ pkg which /usr/local/share/fonts/noto/NotoColorEmoji.ttf /usr/local/share/fonts/noto/NotoColorEmoji.ttf was installed by package not= o-emoji-2.042 --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQKkBAEBCgCOFiEEVbCTpybDiFVxIrrVNqQMg7DW754FAmZEAs5fFIAAAAAALgAo aXNzdWVyLWZwckBub3RhdGlvbnMub3BlbnBncC5maWZ0aGhvcnNlbWFuLm5ldDU1 QjA5M0E3MjZDMzg4NTU3MTIyQkFENTM2QTQwQzgzQjBENkVGOUUQHGpybUBmcmVl YnNkLm9yZwAKCRA2pAyDsNbvnrwgEACkQQfDAXKGoB36clHRpxQmhlW6NcPMMnHP ZW0Y3kSFEOtocV1LxR1PrynpYTlwHGfBX6/PUmI4SWHr9sb1Cbk9chn3flSX4T6T SQ18pjhPAD7VJZQ1lr9PHMUgqqI9XjvMxHfk558JhjhXKKPA4F4JLODFmbLMV50h +iUPpMXvum0k54PkYguUp9RJChPq0GmxJRrffON4R4uYCMBRtFEfuzLl9UvT+Akr iCtQzKJAbJZ6MQBSuvFcviSelPkTtASiS1x0DIlT1ZfEDtvGoCJJ2IKSg7jp2xqH IiT2EcH4eRtx0918dPb+JEGz6wXsxDrFhTWH3Mx+kEDOP8FBKs524WF7bLrX3rPw Hj4xhGnEpJT6cvoki6ktdlvgCAA5xsiexGALwrZMgOeaKjPlInWuR58N8cEERbLY rmoytD0+v9q66DjobnjPBG0cANjHydQ46wagnU/35gzGveltoL6FEw9muQvHA+sB VhknFEiON6LzAIeJ//9xn349YXPG76K3kPY9jOL+yaHv7WZabqp9yoZ+JT0Ywnce fixWn66FbqoA1GNuU1LoeWfP2OC5Tt0ie+ulW8FiFMslB0XJHJ0X5iwmHJx6ZQLD ZKKvjgw5ouV8iXzaX7ZXiyoil60owJKsbmRgFneMwxmxbDhUPpdAecS104iqtyth Ekz3Fwnnhw== =X23v -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
