I apologize for the lack or clarity.  I have a website hosted on a VM on my 
personal machine.  The site is powered by ownCloud and made available 
on the broader tubes with pagekite.  ownCloud provides a client tool that
replicates my GNU Emacs, shell and database configurations among my 
personal machines and work machines.  So essentially I am using the 
exact same initialization files on multiple machines with different OS's and,
in this case, different fonts.

In the meantime, I have come up with a working solution to my problem, 
but I may have encountered a serious bug.  I'm working to reduce it to a
repeatable recipe, but I had the Emacs trunk crash on me multiple times.
Bug report in progress.
