[Agda] Strange way of displaying \sqcap and \sqcup in emacs 23.3.1 Lubuntu 11.10

[David Wahlstedt]

Ok, that explains a lot! Thanks!

A few "workaround questions":

1. Does anyone know of a table of existing typing escape sequences for math
symbols in this emacs utf-8 input method?
I have figured out by trial and error, and guessing from LaTeX names. But
there should be a table somewhere. (at least it should live somewhere in
the emacs source code?)
 I am looking for symbols for "meet and join", and the like.
I know these: (and they show correctly in emacs 23.3.1)
-- ⋀ \And
-- ∧ \and
-- ⋁ \Or
-- ∨ \or
-- ∪ \cup
-- ⋓ \Cup
-- ∩ \cap
-- ⋒ \Cap

Are there any more of them?

2. I tried changing font, and some turned out to show my sq cup cap's
correctly:
Sans
Sazanami Gothic
TlwgMono, Oblique(Medium does not work)
TlwgTypewriter, Oblique(Medium does not work)
URW Bookman L, Italic
URW Chancery L
URW Palladio L, Italic (Roman does not work)

Sans was the only font that didnt distort the text too much, but
unfortunately it is proportional...
Any recommendations for font settings?
