This is called font substitution, and it's ultimately controlled by
fontconfig. I assume that Specimen is using normal GNOME text-rendering
functions and just passing it the chosen font. A character not present
gets automatically substituted with some other font. That's what should
happen for most purposes—but it makes no sense for a font viewer.
