Displaying the UCS Code Point for characters which lack font support is the norm in GTK. This is done by drawing a box around four or six digit glyphs which are rendered in a smaller point size. I'd expect that this is easier to read when using a proportional face. Apple went in a slightly different direction and commissioned a fallback font from Michael Everson which has one glyph per Unicode script and uses that for each character associated with said script. Emacs could easily do either (w/o the need for a font in the latter case). -JimC -- James Cloos OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6
