Audit Departure Mono's coverage, and record that it is not in the image Answers the coverage question the open-questions bundle carried, and turns up something more useful than the answer. Measured: 11,468 glyphs, 169 declared languages. Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, box drawing, and the Nerd Font private-use icons. No CJK, Arabic, Hebrew, Devanagari, Thai, Bengali or Tamil, and no Vietnamese. Vietnamese is the one worth naming: it is Latin-script and looks like it should work, so stacked diacritics fall back mid-word rather than failing visibly. The structural finding is that Departure is not installed at all. The font layer takes IosevkaTerm Nerd and Atkinson Hyperlegible and nothing else, and the only copy in the repo is a mockup asset under docs/mockups/fonts. So anything naming the family at runtime gets a silent fontconfig substitution, the same defect class as the emoji alias that named a font the image never installed. Drops "the console and alloy_tui" from the list of surfaces it is reserved for. A TUI cannot select a font: every cell is drawn in whatever the terminal is configured with, and the build already asserts that is IosevkaTerm. The surfaces where Departure can actually apply are the ones rendered outside the running system.
