I can't easily try that until Monday, sorry. But I now have a different problem
with the patch.
I'm on a machine with Symbola installed now, and with the latest master version
(commit eb92f89c2125aaf8fdf93cdd85ab46ae278dd950) the display is way worse than
it was before. See attached screenshots of Emacs 24.4 and latest master
displaying the following text in a fundamental-mode buffer:
abc‘def’ghi
abc“def”ghi
abc≤def
I ran Emacs with the arguments "-Q -r -font
-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1". Emacs
previously substituted
-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso10646-1 for the
non-alphabetic characters, and this worked well: it's the same font, really, and
the substitute characters are legible and match the default font well. In
contrast, Symbola is varying width, the characters don't match the default font,
and the characters are in some cases nearly illegible.
Why is Emacs using Symbola in a setup that has good Unicode characters already?
Isn't the idea to use Symbola only as a fallback, when the existing fonts
don't work?
