Package: gucharmap
Version: 1:2.24.3-1
Severity: minor
Hi,
if I view a font in gucharmap that is missing some glyphs (mostly from
uncommon unicode blocks) these characters are substituted [1] from
another font that provides these glyphs (Dejavu sans in most cases).
For the user this leaves the impression that the selected font *does*
actually contain the specific glyphs. Only by right-clicking on the
glyph and zooming into it I learn (from the subscript of the popup
window) that it has been taken from another font. It would be really
nice if this information could be made more obvious, e.g. in the
status bar or by a small label in the character table.
Cheers,
Fabian
[1] This is a fontconfig feature, right?
