Bug Description

In addition to the screenshot, it would be useful to include the actual affected characters in the bug report so they can easily be checked in something like gnome-specimen.

The characters are already attached in an automatic screenshot or am I missing the idea here?

Richard, in the screenshot you can't cut and paste them, or check them
in other fonts. Putting the actual characters in the bug report makes it
easier to review them in different fonts / sizes / apps.

This functionality used to be here but was changed with the introduction of the canvas rendering for some reason.

I have put it back in and released the change in 160.
