I suspect some interaction between your window manager and graphics driver |
| 33 |
causes your character and symbol rendering problem. You may want to install a |
| 34 |
different window manager and see if the problem remains, then approach the |
| 35 |
Awesome devs to help you with troubleshooting. It's not unusual for less |
| 36 |
mainstream WM devs to focus their code on NVidia/Intel, or whatever hardware |
| 37 |
and drivers they have at their disposal and miss out on such problems like |
| 38 |
yours until they are drawn to their attention. |
