I cannot seem to reproduce this from emacs -Q, nor do I see this issue when I start Emacs up (I use the daemon if that makes a difference [2]). It naturally shows up after using Emacs for a while, sometimes reopening the frame fixes the clipping problems, sometimes I have to reevaluate the set-fontset-font form to fix it. And this issue isn't font-specific as well: I had the same problem with "Noto Serif." I would highly any hints towards nailing the problem down; I'm really out of ideas. If I didn't make it clear, there are no such problems if I don't modify the default fontset. [1] I also modify the default fontset for other scripts, (set-fontset-font t 'mathematical "Kurinto Mono" nil 'prepend) (set-fontset-font t 'mathematical "Latin Modern Math" nil 'append) (set-fontset-font t 'symbol "Latin Modern Math" nil 'append) (set-fontset-font t 'emoji "Kurinto Mono") (set-fontset-font t 'emoji "Kurinto Sans" nil 'append) (set-fontset-font t 'emoji "DejaVu Sans" nil 'append) and I set the language and the locale environment to Tamil and ta_IN.utf8 respectively, before modifying the fontset. [2] Modifying the fontset in `server-after-make-frame-hook' does not make a difference. I don't see the issue when I do not use the daemon but I believe I haven't run the non-daemon session long enough.
