update: fixed command line and shortened the output.

FWIW my xlsfonts does not show the code points above 0xFFFF at all :(

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

Hi, thanks for that command string, but on my Slackware system, even though I have the Symbola font installed and is working, it dosn't show up in the xlsfonts output. Maybe it's because I don't have a font server running? Oops, I see I need to take the name out of /usr/share/fonts/truetype/fontdir I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.

What I did with the `.ttf` from that zip: `$ chdir ~/.fonts $ mv /tmp/Symbola605.ttf . $ mkfontscale $ mkfontdir $ fc-cache $ sudo /etc/init.d/xfs restart` [download] And yes, I have my `~/.fonts` directory in the font server list (`/etc/X11/fs/config`).
