Excellent. Even better, it was already installed on my
ubuntu box.

: P.S. fontforge is a font editor but it also tells you where the glyphs
: you are looking for are and what their hex numbers are. You could also
: try this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gucharmap, though.

Thanks. Yes, this is more what I needed. I installed the program
with apt-get and it works like a charm.

Thanks again.
