missing fancy character when using org-bullets

missing fancy character when using org-bullets

[Giacomo M]

Dear all,
at work I have Windows 7, at home Windows 10. I use the same emacs 
configuration, and Consolas as the default font face.
I indulge myself using org-bullets. At work it works. At home the pretty 
symbol for 3-rd level outlines is missing. An empty rectangle is showing 
instead. Other symbols, like those for the first two levels headlines or 
things like \lambda, work.

Did anybody experience anything similar?

Thanks,

Giacomo

Yes, I faced it too - on CentOS 6.5. I moved to Debian stable to get
rid of the problem, I couldn't find any other solution.

https://github.com/rolandwalker/unicode-fonts helps Emacs use all
available fonts' characters.

You can specify ranges with set-fontset-font, e.g.

    (set-fontset-font "fontset-default" 'greek (font-spec :family 
    "Fira Mono") nil 'prepend)
    (set-fontset-font "fontset-default" '(#x1f601 . #x1f567) 
    "Symbola")

You can also ignore certain fonts,

    (setq face-ignored-fonts '("Latin Modern Math"))

Hope it helps,
Rasmus
