Yes. > Emacs could adapt fontconfig's "orthography" mechanism instead. But, for selecting fonts for symbols (the current case is U+2200 [FOR ALL]), such a mechanism doesn't work. In addition, currently, Emacs doesn't know in which langauge a text is written. So, we can't use an appropriate ":lang" property of fontconfig. --- Kenichi Handa handa@ni.aist.go.jp
