I don't think that's what's going on.  Notice that the font used in  
that page is fixed width.  The arrow looks wrong because it has to fit  
in a fixed width space.  Fixed width arrows all look stubby, even if  
they are styled like the rest of the font.

Very few programming fonts have arrows or other symbols.  When I  
played around with UnicodeSyntax, I tried lots of different fonts.   
The only one I found that is halfway readable is GNU Unifont (at  
unifoundry.com)
