Regarding these Unicode characters,
$ echo U+01D0 U+01D1 U+01D2 U+01D3 U+01D4 U+01D5 ...|ascii2uni -P
I am comfortable with
(setq default-frame-alist
(append
'((font . "-sony-fixed-medium-r-normal--16-120-100-100-c-80-iso8859-1"))
default-frame-alist))
But that makes them vertical squares.
If vertical squares mean that emacs can't find the character in that
font then how I can tell emacs to use its emacs -q font instead, or
e.g., "-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--18-120-100-100-c-90-iso10646-1" as a
fallback font?
Good news, I have discovered "27.16 Defining fontsets" in the info
system.
Bad news. That Info page is designed for users with advanced brain
facilities.
Shall I instead of my above default-frame-alist item, use in .Xresources,
Emacs.Fontset-0:
-sony-fixed-medium-r-normal--16-120-100-100-c-80-iso8859-1,\
WHAT_HERE?:-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--18-120-100-100-c-90-iso10646-1
Or is that just another route to hours of experimentation and final
failure.
All I know is
-sony-fixed-medium-r-normal--16-120-100-100-c-80-iso8859-1 looks nice,
and I would like to use
-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--18-120-100-100-c-90-iso10646-1 for the
characters it can't handle.
I see, they aren't exactly the same size. No wonder it won't work.
Well then tell me what to apt-get next time I go to town where there
is bandwidth to download big packages.
