Currently, not as far as I know. It'd be an interesting option for the app to support though - manual glyph substitution tables (with, perhaps, some basic & obvious ones pre-configured?) for commonly omitted symbols. Rather than a manual table, another approach might be to just inform the user "the glyph for <blah> is missing from this font" and give them a list of other glyphs to pick from, with a "remember this choice for this document" option. -- Craig Ringer
