Description:

I use such config for xterm:
❯ cat ~/.Xresources | grep -i xterm
XTerm*locale: true
XTerm*metaSendsEscape: true
XTerm*rightScrollBar: true
*XTerm*VT100*faceName: -microsoft-consolas-bold-r-normal-*-17-120-100-100-m-0-koi8-ru
*XTerm*faceSize: 12
*XTerm*VT100*translations: #override \n\
XTerm*pointerShape: xterm
XTerm*saveLines: 1000

After update of fontconfig:
> upgraded fontconfig (2:2.13.94-1 -> 2:2.13.96-1),
xterm can not use consolas font (some unicode characters replaced by empty space).
After downgrade:
> sudo pacman -U fontconfig-2\:2.13.94-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

All works again just fine.

xfontsel/xlsfonts show the selected fontconfig in both cases.
This task depends upon
