Incidentally, my emacs font face is also the same, so I am also getting a bunch of ^L in emacs C-h n.

The Windows version is complete unusable for me because of how slow magit is on Windows (though that's not the fault of magit or emacs). I haven't yet tried WSL (I run Windows on a work issued laptop), so my emacs sessions run in a Linux VM to get acceptable performance.
> how slow magit is on Windows I am relieved, though, that it's not just me.

This page is being rendered as DejaVu Sans Mono on my Debian Firefox. This font apparently does not have the Form Feed character [1], so I am getting a bunch of nonrendered characters, once before every * heading (but not before ). Incidentally, my emacs font face is also the same, so I am also getting a bunch of ^L in emacs C-h n. [1] https://unicode-table.com/en/000C/
That emacs displays form feeds as the Control character ^L (which it is) is also normal, and if you just curled the file confirms that it’s just a plain old text file.
If anyone is aware of a better way, especially for emacs users, I'd appreciate it. Is this something where docker or snapd might fit in well?
I'm sick of managing 5-6 different installs of language server protocol servers. A couple are installed with my package manager (clangd), some are installed with pip (pyls), some I just have symlinked into ~/.local/bin (microsoft/python-language-server). It's overly difficult to get right. If anyone is aware of a better way, especially for emacs users, I'd appreciate it. Is this something where docker or snapd might…

As a long time Windows users, I could not understand why anyone would love emacs. It's slow on Windows and locked up often for me. When I switched to Linux on the desktop though, I understood. Input latency in emacs is less than in gnome terminal for me. Never thought I would say that emacs feel snappier than vim, but that seems to be the case in my current setup. Also, I recently discovered magit and now I don't hat…
Emacs performance in general (not just Windows) has been a complaint forever. Back when Emacs was first launched, and machine memory was measured in megabytes, people joked it stood for Eight Megabytes And Constantly Swapping.
Any improvements for the Windows GUI ? I find it to work better with WSL and VcXsrv.
Great job a very good example of programmable editor. Emacs had been my work horse since 2002 and never disappointed. In the meantime tried many ide only vim and emacs stayed with me. Sometimes do use nano and sublime text but then back to either emacs or vi. All those shiny IDE based on electron, Java or C++ are just too slow to be productive be it VScode, atom or eclipse or visual studio or kdevelop. I am forced to…

Is Form Feed ever a character that a font renders? It’s whitespace, after all. And (hard to be certain on the phone) this “website” is likely just a text file. Maybe Firefox just does not like form feed in general. That emacs displays form feeds as the Control character ^L (which it is) is also normal, and if you just curled the file confirms that it’s just a plain old text file.
