Hi,
I am not able to see the characters in certain emoji like flip table,
etc. It used to be visible earlier before I did a completely fresh install.
Does anyone know which font to install?
These are the fonts presently installed on my machine -
media-fonts/corefonts
media-fonts/freefont-ttf
media-fonts/liberation-fonts
media-fonts/lohit-fonts
media-fonts/ttf-bitstream-vera
media-fonts/ubuntu-font-family

*Where* are you trying to view these characters? I think the dejavu
fonts have wider UCS coverage than Bitstream Vera, so you may want to
try that. I doubt corefonts offer that much UCS coverage.

OK, I don't have a clue what a "certain emjoi like flip table" is, but
take a look at the Gentoo Wiki for configuring fonts and then use
eselect fontconfig. Not sure if it will help with whatever this thing
is you want to see but this has worked pretty well in normal usage for
me.

Try media-fonts/wqy-zenhei for great display of CJK fonts. If you have a dual
boot system, and don't have a proclivity towards using your own Windows fonts,
then SimSun will be the best. You can simply cp/rsync the desired fonts from
the other partition to /usr/share/fonts/TTF/.
