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?
