   I used the mouse. Shift-click didn't behave as it used to, but I found "Set Default Font..." on the "Options" menu on the menu bar. It seemed to work as I expected: the font is distinctive enough that I'm sure the buffer was using the font I chose (Code2000). But the private-use characters were displayed as empty boxes.

   Thanks for looking at this---I'd love to be able to edit Elvish (and other PUA scripts) with Emacs!
