Starting a few months ago, I've observed a regression in Emacs HEAD
relative to Emacs 23.3.1.

Steps to reproduce:
===============

* Open Emacs HEAD on OS X
* In *scratch*, evaluate:
  (set-face-attribute 'default nil :foundry "apple" :family "Menlo" :height 120)
* Then use "M-x ucs-insert" to insert the "EMPTY SET" char (∅)
* Use "M-x describe-char" to inspect the properties of the displayed character

Expected results:
==============

This char is available in the Menlo font, so the expected results are as
for Emacs 23.3:

        character: ∅ (8709, #o21005, #x2205)
preferred charset: unicode (Unicode (ISO10646))
       code point: 0x2205
           syntax: . 	which means: punctuation
         category: .:Base, j:Japanese
      buffer code: #xE2 #x88 #x85
        file code: #xE2 #x88 #x85 (encoded by coding system utf-8-unix)
          display: by this font (glyph code)
    nil:-apple-Menlo-medium-normal-normal-*-12-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1 (#x7B4)

Character code properties: customize what to show
  name: EMPTY SET
  general-category: Sm (Symbol, Math)


Actual results:
===========

Instead, Emacs HEAD now displays the character from a fallback font, STIXGeneral:

             position: 275 of 275 (100%), column: 0
            character: ∅ (displayed as ∅) (codepoint 8709, #o21005, #x2205)
    preferred charset: unicode (Unicode (ISO10646))
code point in charset: 0x2205
               syntax: . 	which means: punctuation
             category: .:Base, j:Japanese
          buffer code: #xE2 #x88 #x85
            file code: #xE2 #x88 #x85 (encoded by coding system utf-8-unix)
              display: by this font (glyph code)
    nil:-apple-STIXGeneral-medium-normal-normal-*-14-*-*-*-p-0-iso10646-1 (#x41C)

Character code properties: customize what to show
  name: EMPTY SET
  general-category: Sm (Symbol, Math)
  decomposition: (8709) ('∅')

I cannot reproduce this on the latest trunk (the empty set character
is rendered using Menlo, as expected).

Could you try again starting Emacs as "Emacs -Q"?

I can't reproduce the problem building that rev, either, so I'm not
sure I can be of further help.  That said, try the following:

(1) If you haven't already, do "make extraclean" and rebuild from a clean slate.
(2) If that doesn't work, go to src/nsfont.m:47 and change it to
define NSFONT_TRACE as 1.  Then rebuild, follow your original recipe,
and report back with the results of stderr.  (This probably won't tell
us more than we already know, but it's worth a shot.)

PS:  Please keep the bug tracker cc'ed on follow ups.

Thanks for the extraclean tip, though that ultimately didn't make any difference.

The font trace info is below, from startup with the default "Monaco", through setting the default face to "Menlo", and then on to displaying the EMPTY SET char:

It's probably unrelated, but I also wanted to note the following font-relating compilation warnings I noticed:

Those aren't related.

The trace you posted looks odd.  It says you have 671 (!) different
font families; does that sound right for your system?  Also, when
Emacs looks for a family covering the character range for the 'symbol'
script it should, before it finds STIXGeneral, find several other
fonts that are installed by default on OS X, but that's not what the
trace seems to show.  Have you removed or disabled, e.g., Apple
Symbol, AppleMyungjo, or AppleGothic? If not, it looks like the Cocoa
font api is giving Emacs bad info on your system, and you have a
corrupt font cache or the like.

I managed to isolate the issue to the commit in which it was introduced
as well as the offending lines in the commit. The git commit when the
bug first started happening is 97665d8445c7f8b142cae9db2d81bdcafa310243
which was pushed on Sat, Feb 18 with the following commit message:

"Update char-script-table from the latest Unicode Database.

lisp/international/characters.el (script-list): Sync with the latest
Unicode Character Database."

In lisp/international/characters.el the addition of either of the
following two symbol character ranges will cause the issue: (taken out
of context here)

(#x2900 #x2BFF symbol)
(#x2E00 #x2E7F symbol)

If either of these lines remain, then the font will be incorrectly
chosen. I had to rebuild Emacs to test this despite the file being an
Emacs Lisp file, but it could be that I simply failed to figure out how
to change this file and make it work (I changed it, byte compiled it,
etc. with no effect). YMMV.

I turned on NSFONT_TRACE as suggested earlier and the below is from
starting emacs -Q, changing the font to Menlo, and inserting the EMPTY
SET character. The first trace is from the code with the two lines of
code removed (i.e., will produce the desired behavior). The second is
from the incorrect behavior. 

I've trimmed out non-essential differences. The first substantial
difference to me is the additional two lines in the second diff (the
second and third dotted pair at the beginning). This addition seems to
prevent nsfont.m from returning the 4 entities that it returns in the
correct case.

**  First - correct font chosen **

I hope this is helpful. I don't know the cause to these effects except
to observe that somehow the extra two character ranges in characters.el
end up causing nsfont.m to look up the wrong font.

Let me know if I can help or answer any questions.

Just a quick update; The notes I added before seem to remain valid for
24.2. I added the CCs back to the message just to see if anyone had any
interest. As I forgot to CC anyone last time, the details are here:

http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?msg=23;bug=11450

Steve, I created a small patch that I am using with Homebrew on the Mac
when building Emacs. It might be of use to you and while it likely isn't
the "right" fix, it'll do for now.

David; thanks, that's interesting, but there's still a fundamental issue that the fix doesn't work around.

For example, the "GREEK SMALL LETTER LAMDA" (sic) character is available in my favoured primary fonts (Pragmata Pro or Anonymous Pro), but Emacs 24 still displays the Times New Roman version of the character. It turns out that this mistake is also made by Emacs 23.3.1.

Meanwhile, OS X's Textedit app renders that character correctly in any font which contains it.

Strangely, if Emacs' default font is set to Menlo, the lambda character from that font *is* used. The same applies to the "EMPTY SET" character.

Ugh. That's too bad, but hopefully useful to someone who knows more
about fonts on the Mac.

You are right, of course, that the patch doesn't fix the underlying
issue. My theory is that there is some odd interaction between the added
character ranges an Apple font selection, but I don't know what it could
be. Perhaps Menlo, being a built-in font, appears earlier in the font
list and that is why it works.

There may have been other entries made in that commit that you will need
to revert. Or perhaps reverting the entire commit will work for you.

The commit, if you're interested: 97665d8445c7f8b142cae9db2d81bdcafa310243

Good luck!

Hah! I think I made progress. I believe the commit to which you (David) referred is basically helpful, in that it more correctly catalogues the various character ranges.

On a whim, I tried adding a "set-fontset-font" call to my usual font setup, as shown below:

  (set-fontset-font "fontset-default" 'symbol "PragmataPro")
  (set-face-attribute 'default nil :foundry "apple" :family "PragmataPro" :height 140)

And that actually causes Emacs to use the default font for both the "GREEK SMALL LETTER LAMDA" and "EMPTY SET" characters. 

I guess that in the absence of this line, Emacs asks the system for a font which supports the "symbol" character range, without first trying the default font.

As for why Menlo works like this out of the box and the other fonts don't, that's still a mystery to me.

Nicely done, works for me, as well - without my patch.  The less patches I

One caveat with the "set-fontset-font" approach is that the given font is used unconditionally for all characters in the 'symbol ranges; if the font doesn't contain glyphs for a certain symbol character, Emacs will display the empty box character rather than look for an alternative font containing that character.

So this is something of a workaround, rather than a definitive solution.

-Steve

Hi, are either of you still seeing the problems with the incorrect fonts
being used? The entire font back-end for Emacs on OS X was replaced some
time ago, so hopefully if the problem wasn't sorted before then, that
should have done it.

Thanks Alan. This appears to work okay for me with a recent Emacs 25 snapshot. I’ve had a workaround in place for a long time now, which no longer appears to be necessary. Can’t easily confirm in which Emacs version it became redundant, sorry.
