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)
