[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Sorry for not replying before!

I have no special code in the .emacs file apart from the specification of
which font to use. Today on a fresh arch GNU/linux install where I installed
the package "emacs-cvs" (23.0.60) and didn't have an .emacs file, the
problem was still there, when I started emacs this way:

      emacs --font
"FONT_WHICH_INCLUDES_THE_GLYPHS_AND_WORKS_IN_DEC_2007_VERSION-FONTSIZE"

The glyphs in PUA just show up as boxes

Best regards
Alex
