I used: 'eselect fontconfig list' which showed me which fonts are |
| 38 |
enable, and the compared them between the computers. They seem to be |
| 39 |
consistent, both the same. |

When I used different pdf viewer "MuPDF" the 'check-mark' is rendered |
| 42 |
correctly. But for some reason the 'evince' is not showing correctly |
| 43 |
the 'check-mark'. But on my other computer it does. |
