I'm not sure.  It's trivial to make the core call a frontend-implemented
nsfont_glyph_exists, or some such, but I'm not sure how easy it is to
implement on all platforms.  Also, I don't like increasing the amount of
stuff a frontend needs to implement.

Same problem on Atari, apparently.  When we get round to adding treeviews
to the framebuffer frontend, it will have the same issue too.

How did the triangles on my test page look on the Amiga?
