You can customize gnus-summary-*-face.  (Probably you'd program a loop
rather than customizing every font.)  Or you can Use %B inside of
`%N{' (N=1, 2, ...)  and `%}' specifiers:

I have moved the screen shots to
<URL:http://theotp1.physik.uni-ulm.de/~ste/comp/emacs/gnus/screen-shots/>.

I don't use this mixed setup anymore.  My arrows are displayed with
the font -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-130-75-75-c-70-iso10646-1,
but this also doesn't have an italic variant, IIRC.

Bye, Reiner.
