Well, Fedora already has its share of ugly fonts with wide unicode coverage. As we're only talking about a single character here, that does not seem too difficult to create (just add a black diamond to a question mark), I'd suggest you just get it into dejavu and I'll get the new dejavu version into Fedora Extras. If you're quick it'll be available for users by early august. Regards, -- Nicolas Mailhot
