Subject: emacs and special chars (emoticons)
Date: Fri, 03 Jan 2014 20:56:51 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87lhywon3w.fsf@bye.fritz.box> (raw)
I can live without emoticons but what people write via jabber
(I use emacs jabber) looks ugly with all those substitute characters.
I thought it would be a good idea to install a font which contains all
these symbols (Symbola) and make it known to emacs with
unicode-fonts.el.
This appeared to be not a good idea.
Emacs startup time increased to about 5 minutes.
All the `tweaks' like
unicode-fonts-existence-checks (quote none)
unicode-fonts-restrict-to-fonts (quote ("Symbola")))
unicode-fonts-skip-font-groups (quote ...)
did help nothing.
What would be the appropriate way to make emacs display emoticons (from
Symbola font)?
