Did you try prettify-symbol-mode? In at least the master version of Emacs you should be able to use prettify-symbols-alist. Though org will do some fortification already, which might cause the error you are seeing. >> The only fonts I’ve got configured are Fira as the main font, DejaVu as >> fallback and XITS for math. > > I know this is OT for this list but can you show me how you configure > fallback fonts? Fallback might be too strong, but you could use the prepend argument to set-fontset-font. Here’s what I used to use. In Emacs-25 it seems I don’t really mess with this anymore, though. (mapc (lambda (x) (set-fontset-font x 'mathematical (font-spec :family "XITS Math") nil 'append) (set-fontset-font x 'symbol (font-spec :family "DejaVu Sans Mono") nil 'prepend) (set-fontset-font x 'greek (font-spec :family "Fira Mono") nil 'prepend) (set-fontset-font x '(#x1f601 . #x1f567) "Symbola")) '("fontset-startup" "fontset-default")) Rasmus -- Got mashed potatoes.
