Yes, by default it will only show fonts which have all the specified glyphs. One can use `albatross --or a b` to search for each glyph individually. (more) |

For example, on my system: ``` albatross 🅭 🄍 🅯 🄎 🄏 .---.-.| | |--.---.-.| |.----.-----.---... (more) |

Thanks for the explanation! As the question is essential about downgrading, it sounded as selling it might raise enough founds to buy a downgrade, but if it was on sale, the second hand price might also be lower. (more) |

@#64277 Do you make use of any other special features of the smart screen? Otherwise selling it second hand and buying another monitor with the proceeds of the sale might be a viable solution. (more) |

Please include which OS you are using and which shortcuts you'd like to change. On mac, one can use the karabiner elements app to remap some of the firefox shortcuts.
For other OS, there are addons like https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/shortkeys which allow to remap some shortcuts. (more) |

"beyond what's already evident from the image." The problem is that taking information from the image, does not tell us anything about the system of the OP, it just tells us that a random user on the internet uses a certain version of windows (or used this version 6 years when they posted the image)....

If one leaves out the link and image, which is not hosted by Codidact and instead uses an often blocked image hosting, does the question really contain enough information to be answerable without making assumptions? (more) |
