Window blips and disappears whether running from XDG Menu btop++ or terminal!

tail ~/.xsession-errors

Why would I need legacy Korean character set encoding support not included in or 
required by the package?
Apparently this charset used to be supported by font-daewoo-misc, which has been 
obsoleted by xorg-x11-fonts-misc, none of which support this legacy charset, 
which may have been because of Fedora licensing concerns:
Alternatives are labelled UHC or CP949 and modern replacement appears to be EUC-KR.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13798461/how-to-normalize-encoding-names-like-ks-c-5601-1987-to-cp949

Anything we can do in fontconfig and/or require from some other package that 
will alias the charset encoding and satisfy that requirement, or do we need a 
new build or patched release that removes that requirement?
