Right, those Unicode slots do not (yet) have glyphs in FreeSans.

It isn't your browser's "fault" though. Modern font rendering systems typically go looking in other fonts if they can't find a character in the current font. So if it is indeed a problem, it is a problem with some other font.

Oh. I see a place where the glyphs are exchanged. The little sample glyphs in FontForge are exchanged with regard to the standard (http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U25A0.pdf).
I'll bet the designer of the other font used these samples, rather than the Unicode page.

However, the problem wouldn't have arisen at all if those characters were represented in FreeSans. I'll put them in right away. But it's really part of a bigger job. The Geometrid Shapes range is complete in FreeSerif, but the range is in poor shape in FreeSans.

Thanks, Anonymous!

Um... I'm realizing these characters are probably not included in FreeSans and what I'm seeing is a bug in the underlying default font in my browser. Sorry.

In the FreeSans family, the characters U+25D2 and U+25D3 seem to be exchanged. At least, when I create an HTML file with &#9682; and &#9683; I see them inverted.

In FreeSerif and FreeMono these glyphs seem to be fine, though
