gitk crashes when viewing commit containing emoji: X Error of failed request: BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length error)

I'm able to open gitk but it crashes as soon as I open a commit whom changes contains an emoji (not the commit message). ### Error ❯ gitk --all X Error of failed request: BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length error) Major opcode of failed request: 139 (RENDER) Minor opcode of failed request: 20 (RenderAddGlyphs) Serial number of failed request: 6687 Current serial number in output stream: 6706 ### Env ❯ cat /etc/os-release --plain NAME="Linux Mint" VERSION="20 (Ulyana)" ID=linuxmint ID_LIKE=ubuntu PRETTY_NAME="Linux Mint 20" VERSION_ID="20" HOME_URL="https://www.linuxmint.com/ " SUPPORT_URL="https://forums.linuxmint.com/ " BUG_REPORT_URL="http://linuxmint-troubleshooting-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ " PRIVACY_POLICY_URL="https://www.linuxmint.com/ " VERSION_CODENAME=ulyana UBUNTU_CODENAME=focal ### Git ❯ git --version git version 2.25.1 ### Examples > 6e05ecd add v3->v4 migration script to update variables https://github.com/rafaelrinaldi/pure/pull/271/commits/6e05ecdad0e4f623050e154e16c0af0315767940 ### Questions I tried various things: * removing ~/.Xresources config related to fonts * editing then removing ~/.config/fontconfig/conf.d/30-icons.conf Without success, most of the issues I found were related to st terminal . However, I'm not using it but guake, and the issue also happened with yakuake, gnome-terminal and hyper How could I fix this?
