I've loaded all of the following packages, yet I'm still
having trouble rendering a few characters on that page
(Mozilla displays them as a little four-character grid --
1FE4, 1FE5, 1FC3, 1FF3, 1FB3, etc.):

xfonts-100dpi
xfonts-75dpi
xfonts-base
xfonts-efont-unicode
xfonts-efont-unicode-ib
xfonts-greek-ph-100dpi
xfonts-greek-ph-75dpi
xfonts-greek-ph-misc
xfonts-greek-ph-scalable
xfonts-intl-european
xfonts-scalable
libttf2						
ttf-thryomanes					

Any ideas?

"Quiller-Couch taught him about writing. 'I would turn in
 something filled with high-flown phrases of which I was
 inordinately proud,' [Alistair] Cook said. 'Q would cut
 them out. "Cook," he once said to me, "you must learn
 to murder your darlings."'"
