Thanks, I'll try that.

It's displayed just the way gedit displays it, only with a huge (3 line
height) ascent and a huge (3 line height) descent. So the line with the
char is effectively 7 times taller than a regular line.

Also, I've tracked the font family of the char to be "Latin Modern
Mathfont" in xftfont_open.
