Thanks Pete for looking at this.

Ok So I  put the cursor on the box which should be an arrow and did
describe-char. I get:

       character: ← (8592, #o20620, #x2190)
preferred charset: unicode (Unicode (ISO10646))
       code point: 0x2190
           syntax: .    which means: punctuation
         category: .:Base, c:Chinese, h:Korean, j:Japanese
      buffer code: #xE2 #x86 #x90
        file code: #xE2 #x86 #x90 (encoded by coding system utf-8-
unix)
          display: by this font (glyph code)
    xft:-microsoft-Sahadeva-normal-normal-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-0-
iso10646-1 (#x250)

Character code properties: customize what to show
  name: LEFTWARDS ARROW
  old-name: LEFT ARROW
  general-category: Sm (Symbol, Math)

When I manually set it to deja-vu-sans it works.

So how do I tell xft not to take microsoft-Sahadeva?
