OK. Thank you.

I bet that using XeTex/LuaTeX is no problem...at least, XeTeX is
standard part of my TexLive package.

OK, but I'm curious how to mix fonts...for instance I've special font
containing glyphs for planets & other astrological symbols and it
provides such mapping that in my AsciiDoc file I can define something
like:
:sun: a
and then use it, similar to the above, like:
Symbol for the Sun is +{sun}+.
The trick is that the text enclosed in '+' characters (e.g. +{sun}+) are
rendered in monospaced font.
Moreover, I defined the following mystyle.xsl which is invoked when
transforming AsciiDoc document via dblatex backend:
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version='1.0'>
<xsl:import
href="/home/gour/tmp/fossil/asciidoc-8.6.7/dblatex/asciidoc-dblatex.xsl"/>
<xsl:param name="xetex.font">
<xsl:text>\setmainfont{Code2000} </xsl:text>
<xsl:text>\setsansfont{Liberation Sans} </xsl:text>
<xsl:text>\setmonofont{MaitreyaSymbols6} </xsl:text>
</xsl:param>
</xsl:stylesheet>
and considering that desired font is set as \setmonofont, we get
required glyphs.
I bet something similar should be possible with Sphinx, right?
Sincerely,
Gour
