Bug Description
Inkscape 0.48+devel Windows XP SP3
A WMF file generated by ACD Chemsketch contains the character delta in two positions, in the strings <delta>+ and <delta>-. When this is imported into inkscape the + and - remain, but the delta goes into a very odd state. This is illustrated in the SVG which is attached, which has been edited down from the full WMF. The "delta" is not visible on the screen. It may be selected with "select all", but it will not be selected with the arrow tool.
The SVG lines that correspond to this delta look like this (and I have no idea what those characters are supposed to be)
I understand that the primary character map issue may be in the (external?) wmf import routines. However, there needs to be some sanity checking so that invisible, unselectable characters are not created.
Requested change: imported characters which do not map to printable characters (which I think is what is going on here) should be replaced with a red "?" character. This is no more "wrong" than what we have now, and at least with the red question mark it would be obvious there is a problem, whereas with the current behavior, on a complex page, it is hard to see when a couple of characters have disappeared.
