X Windows Fonts with Symbols?

[Thomas H. George]

I would like to write some text which includes the symbols for Spades, 
Hearts, Diamonds and Clubs.  I know that some years ago I had a word 
processor with fonts which included these symbols but now I can't find 
any.  I used xfontsel to examine the symbol and dingbats fonts with no 
success.  Thinking I was missing something I wrote a couple of lines of 
C++ to display the ascii characters from 40 to 255 but it didn't show 
anything beyond character 127 - presumably because I haven't yet figured 
out how to change fonts in the program.

I'll struggle with this some more tomorrow but if I am missing something 
obvious I would appreciate being pointed in the right direction.  
Specifically, I have started learning Perl-Tk from the widget program 
and the man page and I would like to write text on the canvas widget 
which includes the playing card symbols.
