Xmessage not rendering xmonad.hs errors correctly about xmonad HOT 3 OPEN

This is almost certainly caused by aa35ea1#diff-206141305e4cc4e20f2b6ee7b8b99b238c57cff3a9fa442848427958e4c64f63R463-R464
Can you perhaps play a bit with xfontsel and figure out which fonts these patterns end up choosing on your system?

Hi @liskin and thank you very much for your help. I cannot be certain, but running xfontsel and placing the window next to the xmonad.hs error, I feel the font is one of the akruti* fonts. Please see the image below;

This particular screenshot uses akrutitml1 but other fonts with the akruti prefix yield very similar (if not identical) results. It should also be noted that other fonts, like tamu_maduram also apparently exist on this system, with the same glyphs, but are not being used by xmonad.hs for its xmessage window.

Hm, sounds like perhaps you don't have the right fonts installed at all. Try this package: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/xorg-fonts-misc/
