   I used the mouse. Shift-click didn't behave as it used to, but I found "Set 
Default Font..." on the "Options" menu on the menu bar. It seemed to work as I 
expected: the font is distinctive enough that I'm sure the buffer was using the 
font I chose (Code2000). But the private-use characters were displayed as empty 
boxes.

   Thanks for looking at this---I'd love to be able to edit Elvish (and other 
PUA scripts) with Emacs!
