For anyone curious, this github issue discusses the Inconsolata bug. The root cause is a bug in XFT , which apparently is no longer maintained, but is used all over the Linux font world. Since XFT is no longer an active project, assuming nobody picks it up again, the eventual fix will be for programs such as emacs, st, dmenu, etc. to move away from XFT and use an alternative font rendering library like Cairo .
