I already have DejaVu and Helvetica installed that has all fonts that I need. If I'm not completely off these should be distributed with Pd and be the same on all platforms, right?
If all characters were in the DejaVu / Helvetica fonts I should be able to display the alternative # (8983) with UTF-8. It works on Windows with both older and newer software versions of Pd. Thus these characters should be there. If they are not in the DejaVu font but elswhere how do I know what to install?
It would be soooooo easy to edit one single unused character of the fonts if I knew where they were. Unfortunately I do not expect myself to be able to read through the entire Pd source code to find out. The default font locations of Debian don't seem to do anything - at least not for me on Pd in Debian.

i'm using Debian for a couple of years, and i cannot remember any problems in the last decade.
afaik, the only thing that does not work are emojis. while they are technically just unicode symbols, it seems that i cannot enter them (although they are displayed correctly, if you get them into the patch "by other means", like [list tosymbol] or by editing the patch)

apart from '#' in iemguis; but i think this has been covered extensively in this thread during the last days.
