woman: Special symbols
5.4 Special symbols
===================
This section currently applies _only_ to Microsoft Windows.
WoMan provides partial experimental support for special symbols,
initially only for MS-Windows and only for MS-Windows fonts. This
includes both non-ASCII characters from the main text font and use of a
separate symbol font. Later, support will be added for other font types
(e.g., ‘bdf’ fonts) and for the X Window System. In Emacs 20.7, the
current support works partially under Windows 9x but may not work on any
other platform.
‘woman-use-extended-font’
A boolean value. If non-‘nil’ then WoMan may use non-ASCII
characters from the default font. Default is ‘t’.
‘woman-use-symbol-font’
A boolean value. If non-‘nil’ then WoMan may use the symbol font.
Default is ‘nil’, mainly because it may change the line spacing (at
least in NTEmacs 20).
‘woman-symbol-font’
A string describing the symbol font to use for special characters.
It should be compatible with, and the same size as, the default
text font. Under MS-Windows, the default is
"-*-Symbol-normal-r-*-*-*-*-96-96-p-*-ms-symbol"
