Ah. That explains a lot.

For my use, I just need to know if a particular glyph is in the font or not
(and how it looks, of course). So having a different background would be fine.
I have in the meantime noticed that there is a difference (usually) between
glyphs in the font, and those not, in that the missing ones are rendered
thinner. Though I suppose how noticeable this is depends on the font in
question.

Have you seen how FontForge the missing glyphs? But AFAIK they're on GTK not QT
so they probably don't have the exact same problem.

Thanks.
