 I have built seamonkey 1-1-8 according to the svn book instructions for
  the other version but it
  has problems with fonts. In particular #25bc shows up as a little box

  I know its not good.
 
   
 Most likely, you just need more fonts installed to cover the
 characters you want. See the section about Xft fonts for X:

Hello again, well I downloaded:

font-adobe-100dpi-1.0.0.tar.bz2  font-misc-misc-1.0.0.tar.bz2
font-adobe-75dpi-1.0.0.tar.bz2   font-util-1.0.1.tar.bz2
font-dec-misc-1.0.0.tar.bz2  font-xfree86-type1-1.0.0.tar.bz2

Installed these then reinstalled fontconfig (2.5.0) with pointers to all 
of my font directories (--default --with font options in configure) in
pretty much the order they occur in xorg.conf and things are looking 
much better.

Thanks and kind regards,

John

Those are bitmapped fonts, though. You should look into the TrueType
fonts like DejaVu and FreeFont.
