Did the search thing in Glyphs tab work for you? :) No, because: 1) You can't enter a Unicode value; you must enter the character name, yet most of the characters I need have no Unicode name, just a value and, 2) I need to check ~120 glyphs in each font, and the search thing in the Glyphs tab takes only one glyph at a time.
