The "Fixed" font is superb. For unicode I've had great luck with -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-* which has flawless greek support as well as support for a variety of arrows, miscellaneous and technical glyphs. I discovered the fixed font after I decided I wanted to take notes for physics class on my laptop. I have also written a handy script that utalizes dmenu and a hierarchical file format to browse, select, and copy unicode charecters to the keyboard. I'll post the script to the list in the near future. Best, -- IT Daniher
