    Advanced font fallback is one of the defining features of the Foot terminal, if you’re interested. You can even specify different fonts, which is useful for e.g. getting emojis to fit in one cell.

        Yep. Foot is Wayland-only

        I should add that Alacritty running with X11 compatibility isn’t quite as fast as running it on Wayland. Both Alacritty and Foot can utilize Wayland’s excellent frame timing/vsync support to prioritize rendering only when the display refreshes. Doing so reduces load (esp. in Alacritty’s case since it can offload most work to the GPU), which is sorely needed because proper font rendering is an intensive process to do in a latency-sensitive manner.
