Vim and emacs are terminal applications, thus it&#x27;s down to the terminal emulator to support the font. Some terminal emulators do (eg Konsole). However many do not.<p>Frankly, I&#x27;m amazed at the number of programmers who have made the complaint about vim and emacs support since writing terminal applications (ie stuff that prints to STDOUT) is basically programming 101. It should be pretty obvious to any programmer where the support is required.
