how to install unicode fonts in gentoo-based linux?

Question

this question: How can I get full Unicode font coverage for Gentoo Linux? gives the idea of what I want to do, but I don't know HOW to do that.

I wish to install all unicode fonts, because github shows me character codes instead of glyphs in website interface.

I'm a native Gentoo User... Let me research this and I'll get back to you with some comments or an answer. Welcome to U&L.SE — eyoung100, Commented Dec 5, 2014 at 16:30
Let's Start Here with UTF-8 on the Gentoo Wiki Finish that and report back. — eyoung100, Commented Dec 5, 2014 at 16:40

You should just have to enable the portage use flag.

Add this line to /etc/portage/make.conf:

USE="$USE unicode"

Then run this as root:

emerge --update --deep --with-bdeps=y --newuse @world

No packages to rebuild, and still [] in Google Chrome, but correct in Firefox :(

First, install eix, then

root # emerge $(EIX_LIMIT=0 eix -# media-fonts/*)

This will install every font you have available.
