“Also, I strongly recommend you install the Symbola font, which contains basic glyphs for a vast number of characters. They may not be pretty, but they’re better than seeing the infamous Unicode lego.” I disagree with the notion of Symbola not being a pretty font. As I mentioned here¹, the glyphs Symbola has for the Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block are quite beautiful². (It may help that I’m using the non-hinted version on a HiDPI display though… still that implies it will look even better when printed on paper with an inkjet or laser printer since they still produce more DPI than the typical HiDPI monitor). ―――――― ¹ — https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10198620 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10198620 ² — http://f.cl.ly/items/2h2p0r1F1h2E1y2o2y0c/Screen%20Shot%202015-09-10%20at%2011.51.55%20AM.png http://f.cl.ly/items/2h2p0r1F1h2E1y2o2y0c/Screen%20Shot%2020...
