Some characters display fine on GNU/Linux but not on Windows. An example
is FISHEYE (?\u25c9) with the Consolas font. Apparently, that font does
not include that character. In GNU/Linux Emacs simply uses DejaVu for
displaying the character, but not on Windows, where a white space is
displayed (the Windows machine also has DejaVu installed.)
Is this a known limitation or a bug?
This is the output of M-x describe-char on Windows XP:
character: ◉ (9673, #o22711, #x25c9)
preferred charset: unicode (Unicode (ISO10646))
code point: 0x25C9
syntax: w which means: word
category: .:Base, j:Japanese
buffer code: #xE2 #x97 #x89
file code: #xE2 #x97 #x89 (encoded by coding system utf-8-dos)
display: by this font (glyph code)
uniscribe:-outline-Consolas-normal-normal-normal-mono-20-*-*-*-c-*-iso10646-1
(#x03)
Character code properties: customize what to show
name: FISHEYE
general-category: So (Symbol, Other)
