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"
