Subject: bug#57693: 29.0.50; Is there a more reliable version of `char-displayable-p'?
Date: Fri, 09 Sep 2022 21:25:35 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87v8pw1xyo.fsf@localhost> (raw)
Hello,
In Org, we have recently had a need to check if a Unicode character can
be displayed in buffer.
We used the following:
(...
(if (and (display-graphic-p)
(char-displayable-p ?⭠)
(char-displayable-p ?─))
"⭠ now ───────────────────────────────────────────────"
"now - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -")
...)
However, char-displayable-p returned false-positive for one user:
https://list.orgmode.org/orgmode/87mtddhprr.fsf@localhost/
False-positives are indeed not unexpected in char-displayable-p; just as
its docstring warns. However, I am now wondering if there is some more
accurate way to know if a character can be actually displayed on buffer
or not.
