Package: gnome-specimen
Version: 0.4-3
Severity: normal

        Hi!

 I am in awe about this really helpful and nice tool. Though, there is
one drawback that I noticed (possibly because of my German locale):
gnome-specimen does display characters that aren't included in the font
with the default font it seems. That is, if a font doesn't contain
informations for e.g. German umlauts, gnome-specimen will still display
rendered umlauts - but they are coming from a totally different font.

 I almost was about to file a bugreport against a font for b0rked
characters because of this until I looked more closer. It would be a
better idea to display the not found box [] or nothing at all instead of
the corresponding character from the default font, to make it clear that
the font doesn't contain support for that character.

 Thanks,
Rhonda
