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.
