--- Comment #4 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Peter Orosz from comment #3) > Yes, it does work with Segoe UI Symbol, thanks, you can close the case. > > FYI: > I select Arial, then enter a G clef using 1D11E, then Alt+X > I intentionally selected the character with Ctrl+X, so it’s definitely Arial. Incorrect. > So if Arial DOES contain G gclef, I wonder why its character map does not > react to searching „G clef”. Actually, it does not. Arial does not "cover" those Unicode points. And it is a font fallback as provided by os/DE. The Special Character Dialog charmap reflects that. With Arial font selected active, enter "1d11e" HEX in the Hexadecimal: field, and for the Arial font the charmap responds 'Missing character' in the glyph preview. What it does not provide is the font used for the fall back. You can tease that info out by export to PDF and then review the fonts embedded. On my system the two fonts covering the 1D11E codepoint are "Sans Serif Collection" (from Google Noto) and the formentioned "Segoe UI Symbol" from MS Windows os/DE core. The fallback is arbitrary, why San Serif Collection rather than Segoe UI Symbol--may be alphanumeric sort and first found. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
