Yup, that solved it, but now I have the next problem that this Character does

What is a bit strange, that on linux, emacs uses „DevaVu Sans“ to display these
characters:
character: ? (displayed as ?) (codepoint 10236, #o23774, #x27fc)
preferred charset: unicode (Unicode (ISO10646))
code point in charset: 0x27FC
script: symbol
syntax: w which means: word
category: .:Base
to input: type "C-x 8 RET 27fc" or "C-x 8 RET LONG RIGHTWARDS
ARROW FROM BAR"
buffer code: #xE2 #x9F #xBC
file code: #xE2 #x9F #xBC (encoded by coding system utf-8-unix)
display: by this font (glyph code)
xft:-PfEd-DejaVu Sans-normal-normal-normal-*-24-*-*-*-*-0-iso10646-1
(#x1058)
I would rather use DejaVu than Symbola, because the symbols look nicer. Is there
a way to get uniscribe to use another font than symbola to render these glyphs?
Thanks and a happy and successfull new year!
