bug#15420: 24.3; Symbols like 🚴 (U+1F6B4) are not displayed by default


From: Mike FABIAN
Subject: bug#15420: 24.3; Symbols like 🚴 (U+1F6B4) are not displayed by default
Date: Thu, 19 Sep 2013 15:58:55 +0200

After emacs -Q, try to load a file containing

🚲 U+1F6B2 BICYCLE
🚴 U+1F6B4 BICYCLIST
𓀀 U+13000 EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPH A001

Glyhps for these characters are not displayed by default,
even when fonts with these glyphs are installed.

For example "Symbola" by George Douros (http://users.teilar.gr/~g1951d/)
has 🚲 U+1F6B2 BICYCLE and 🚴 U+1F6B4 BICYCLIST and
"Noto Sans Egyptian Hieroglyphs" from Google has 𓀀 U+13000 EGYPTIAN
HIEROGLYPH A001.

Instead boxes showing the codepoints are displayed.

A patch like the following to fontset.el can make this
work by default:

    Display symbols like 🚴 U+1F6B4 BICYCLIST and Egyptian Hieroglyphs correctly 
by default

But I am not sure whether this patch is the right way to do it.
Because it seems strange having to hardcode the font
names "Symbola" and "Noto Sans Egyptian Hieroglyphs".

Is there any other way to do it?

Isn’t it possible to make glyphs for such symbols display correctly by
default if *any* font containing these symbols is installed on
the system? How?
