Hello,
As you can see on http://screencast.com/t/XTTv9DSAC, win32 binaries of
Emacs and Cygwin Emacs can't display the white right-pointing
triangle [1] coherently for the same fonts:
- win32 Emacs always can display it, in all fonts,
- Cygwin Emacs can't display it with Consolas, Courier New and Lucida
(among others).
MWE:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;; these fonts only display (special?) UTF-8 chars (here: the white
;; right-pointing triangle) in win32 binary of Emacs
(modify-all-frames-parameters '((font . "Consolas-10")))
(char-displayable-p ?\u25B7)
(modify-all-frames-parameters '((font . "Courier New-9")))
(char-displayable-p ?\u25B7)
(modify-all-frames-parameters '((font . "Lucida Console-9")))
(char-displayable-p ?\u25B7)
;; these work for both win32 binary of Emacs + Cygwin Emacs
(modify-all-frames-parameters '((font . "DejaVu Sans Mono-9")))
(char-displayable-p ?\u25B7)
(modify-all-frames-parameters '((font . "Lucida Sans Typewriter-9")))
(char-displayable-p ?\u25B7)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Any idea why such differences?
I'm on vacation, but I'll look into this next week when I get back. In
the meantime, could you say which version of Cygwin emacs you're using?
Is it emacs-X11 or emacs-w32?
