My memory says that Noto fonts come in many varieties (different subsets), and that it seemed to me the subsets would not be *preferred* if Noto itself lacked a codepoint (i.e. some other font which did provide it might be used even if the relevant Noto variant was present. But having said that, at one time my random reading of wikipedia led me to myanmar-related language or script pages and after installing the noto sans myanmar font the glyphs did show up. That page contains U+2300 to U+237F - various signs and a number of APL symbols. Do you have Noto Sans Symbols installed ? A quick look at the 'Glyphs' page for that font on my zarniwhoop.uk site (PDF, in firefox) suggests those will all be present. But to answer the question you actually asked - first install a font which supports them. If still missing, look at your preferences in firefox - in some (other) packages fonts might not show up if the requested size is too small, not sure if that also applies to firefox. ĸen -- The beauty of reading a page of de Selby is that it leads one inescapably to the conclusion that one is not, of all nincompoops, the greates. -- du Garbandier -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
