Thanks Pete for looking at this.
Ok So I put the cursor on the box which should be an arrow and did
describe-char. I get:
character: ← (8592, #o20620, #x2190)
preferred charset: unicode (Unicode (ISO10646))
code point: 0x2190
syntax: . which means: punctuation
category: .:Base, c:Chinese, h:Korean, j:Japanese
buffer code: #xE2 #x86 #x90
file code: #xE2 #x86 #x90 (encoded by coding system utf-8-
unix)
display: by this font (glyph code)
xft:-microsoft-Sahadeva-normal-normal-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-0-
iso10646-1 (#x250)
Character code properties: customize what to show
name: LEFTWARDS ARROW
old-name: LEFT ARROW
general-category: Sm (Symbol, Math)
When I manually set it to deja-vu-sans it works.
So how do I tell xft not to take microsoft-Sahadeva?
