kitty version >= 0.32.0 CJK characters to show up as rectangle boxes #7263

Description

@ttys3

Describe the bug

causes icons and some CJK characters to show up as
rectangle boxes. kitty prints "Too many fallback fonts" as output, and
the issue continues to occur in 0.32.1 and 0.32.2 and even 0.33.1

kitty 0.31 does NOT have this issue.

I think maybe it is related to #6865
