Characters from CJK range (3300—33FF) displays incorrectly.

F.e. u3333 (㌳) should be square, no 'linear text'.

It looks like: http://snag.gy/Nif4R.jpg
It should looks like: http://unicode-table.com/en/3334/

When fallback happens instead of console monospace font it completely screw
with console output.

Hello,

This is mostly upstream issue and we really can't do anything here. But
I would like to know if you still see issue in fonts-droid-fallback
which ships the Fallback fonts containing CJK characters.

It would be great if you can say if issue exists or not.

Cheers,

Hi,

fonts-droid is dead upstream so this will not be fixed any more.
Please try using fonts-noto which is an improved version of Droid.

Kind regards
