I want to use Fira Code on my terminal; however all libvte-using terminals are affected by a (rather appalling) bug<https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=584160> which has been open for quite some time, where the text gets mangled and characters go missing with the Fira Code font.

    My understanding is that he authors of libvte are facing a rather
difficult problem. Not all scripts can fit with the grid model on which
terminal emulators are based (divide the screen in identical boxes and
put the characters in the boxes). It seems there was never a typewriter
for the glyphs in question, because the problem is conceptual. I
appreciate they think and talk of it long and carefully instead of
jumping to their editor.
