Re: blank-mode.el

["Robert J. Chassell" <bob@rattlesnake.com>]

    By "using ?\u21b5 in blank mode" I meant
    putting ?\u21b5 in blank-display-mappings like:

        (?\n    [?\u21b5 ?\n] [?$ ?\n])

    When blank-mode is on using the setting above,
    instead of appear ↵ at the end of line (\n)
    it appears an empty rectangle box at the end of line.

That happened to me, too, but when I evaluated

    (setq default-input-method 'ucs)

in an Emacs with my usual font, i.e., emacs -Q -D \ 
-fn "-Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--20-200-75-75-C-100-ISO8859-1", I got
the downwards arrow with corner leftwards.  (My usual font is larger
than normal because I have a high resolution screen and my eyes are
not as good as they once were.)  But when I evaluated that expression
in an instance with the system defined fonts, i.e., emacs -Q -D only,
I saw hollow boxes at the ends of lines.

Both had a charset of     ascii (ASCII (ISO646 IRV))

The one had a font of

     -Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--20-200-75-75-C-100-ISO8859-1

the other

     -Adobe-Courier-Medium-R-Normal--17-120-100-100-M-100-ISO8859-1
     but on my screen that font looks like it was 12 points!
