The arrows, element signs etc. came up as cute little blocks with
numbers in them. As a physics student I'm probably a little biased, it
was kind of as an illustration.
For the original poster (too late):
If you install all X fonts into /usr/share/fonts and attempt to print
this, the result will be poor: bitmap fonts are bad for printing.
Now install FreeFont and DejaVu fonts. Check how the LFS LiveCD 6.2-2
renders this (you can even convert to PostScript from there) and you'll
see that the book describes the correct setup.
For the editors:
I think that the book should describe not only "how" to achieve the
described (counter-intuitive but correct) setup, but also "why" it has
been decided to implement it, and what are the deficiencies in the
"obvious" setups.
