Chinese and Japanese Characters Support

[Colgrave34]

Hello,
Does Halloy support Chinese and Japanese characters at the moment?
I have tried to change the fonts, but it always ends up like this:

Another question is, where is the fonts storage or located, or is it from the system fonts?
Thanks.
I'm on Fedora 39 running Flatpak, font was Fira Code.

Further investigation, Chinese character works fine on Windows.

I don't own a Mac, so I have no idea if they work.

Hello @Colgrave34 !
I found this solution that might work for the Fira Code font if you want to see Japanese Characters tonsky/FiraCode#620 (comment)

Hello @YouFoundAlpha !
Thanks a lot for looking, I have installed the font system wide and user wide, it's still not picking up the font, as showing below. ( I was typing japanese). One more factor is that I am using flatpak, is that effect anything?

I don't know if that's an issue
I build it from source
I looked around in the source code and found that you could change the font by changing the path to the fonts in the font.rs file but I haven't tried modifying it yet

I built Halloy from source, and the chinese font got picked up right the way, without me setting it in the config. I believe this is a Flatpak spcific issue...
The Font config wasn't really clear either, so maybe I did something wrong.

The Chinese font that you are seeing is a fallback font because Fira Code doesn't have Chinese characters in it (tonsky/FiraCode#620 (comment)) according to the creator of it
and the default font for Halloy doesn't have Japanese characters in it from what I've seen in the source code of it (https://github.com/be5invis/Iosevka)
Here's the the link to the full list of characters that the default font of Halloy has (https://typeof.net/Iosevka/specimen)
