T66: files dropped on the terminal type their paths, which a user asked for after 0.1.6, as macOS Terminal does: each escaped for the shell, or quoted on Windows when it holds a space, followed by a space, sent as a paste; a path not in UTF-8 or holding a control character stops the drop; the font code moves from view.rs to fonts.rs, which view.rs needed room for; shot plays a drop with drop@x,y
