Those symbols come from Lucida Sans Unicode. Plan9port's $PLAN9/postscript/font does not have all the fonts you'd find in Plan 9's /sys/lib/postscript/font, because the licensing terms for those fonts allow them to be distributed only with the Plan 9 operating system. That said, if somehow the contents of /sys/lib/postscript/font ended up in $PLAN9/postscript/font, troff and psfonts might not have missing characters. A better alternative for these particular characters would be to change the troff map files so that it uses those characters from the current font instead of from Lucida. (Times has its own versions of those, but troff isn't set up to use them.) Russ
