Hi,
I have an OLPC XO-1.5 with Fedora remix, Build 883, 11.3.0.
Half brackets are not rendered in Firefox.
Given a suitable font, they should be visible in this page.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Unicode_chart_Supplemental_Punctuation
TOP LEFT HALF BRACKET for example is U+2E22.
Fonts containing the half bracket are listed here.
http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2e22/fontsupport.htm
Are these glyphs rendered in any Fedora?
Can anyone tell me which Fedora package, if any, contains
a font containing half brackets? Once a font containing the
half brackets is present, what else is needed to allow Firefox
to render them?
Thanks, ... Peter E.

Thanks Akira. This system has DejaVu LGC which, according to Wikipedia,
is a Latin, Greek and Cyrillic subset of DejaVu. I wonder whether simply
installing a DejaVu package will make the half brackets available in the XO.
Thanks again, ... Peter E.

I've learned that the default XO system has the Latin, Greek and
Cyrillic subset DejaVu LGC. The deficiency is rectified with four
commands.
su
yum install dejavu-sans-fonts.noarch
yum install dejavu-sans-mono-fonts.noarch
yum install dejavu-serif-fonts.noarch
exit
Your reply helped me to recognize the distinction. Thanks,
... Peter E.
