This change seems to have broken the fonts in sway (wayland compositor).

This is my Sway status bar:

$ cat .config/sway/status.sh
DATE=$(date +'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
BATTERY=$(cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/capacity)
echo "🔋${BATTERY} 📅 ${DATE}"

Attached are screenshots of how it looks: goodtofu3.png with the old
font-google-noto, and badtofu3.png with the new font-google-noto.

Also looks wrong in foot, xterm, termite, uxterm, emacs, icecat, gimp;
only tested on sway.

I've not yet investigated the issue further. The next step for me
would be to install the old font-google-noto through an inferior
channel to to indeed verify that this change is indeed the culprit.
