That's odd. I'm using Emacs 24 on Windows 7 64-bit (and before this
I've used 23 on both 7 and Vista), and my font is set to Consolas.
Emacs happily substitutes other fonts where Consolas is missing
glyphs
(see the attached screenshot). The only snag is that it takes a while
to find a suitable font, at times.
I'm using a precompiled binary from emacs-for-windows.[1] Perhaps it
has special support for font substitution or something…
Huh. I looked at the HELLO file, and you seem to be right. It's pulling
in
fonts as needed for various South Asian, East Asian, and Middle/Near
Eastern
languages, but still failing horribly with unicode box drawing, as well
as
various symbols (like the recycle symbol, which we use abundantly on
identi.ca). Perhaps Consolas falsely reports that it has those symbols.
