Thank you, Willi, I wasn't aware of this nice font module!
(btw, running it on ArialUnicode with 2 columns and 10pt produces 500 PDF pages
and a peak memory usage of 1.2 GB!).
I like the idea of using glyph names rather than unicode numbers. For my actual
purpose your suggestion works perfectly, with \fontchar{emptyset}.
Beside this there are many glyphs with only "math names" (the rightmost column
in the fnt-10 output). I couldn't make \fontchar work with these. For example
the fore-mentioned char "2300 works with \fontchar{uni2300} but not with
\fontchar{varnothing}.
Is there a way to set these chars by their math name?
