Bug Description
Binary package hint: gucharmap
Feature request:
Currently, I can select a font and a character range (by script or by Unicode block) but I see a glyph for each character supported in the fonts I have installed, whether or not it is in the selected font. What I want to see some of the time is just the characters in the selected font, perhaps with an indication of which other characters _can_ be displayed using other installed fonts.
I would like to be able to toggle display of characters not in the currently selected font in gucharmap, either on the View menu or on the font menu, perhaps identified as "All". This would enable me to see either the total coverage of installed fonts, or the coverage of a selected font, as appropriate to my need. In particular, it would allow me to find fonts covering a Unicode block or the characters required for some application, and let others know which fonts to install for those purposes.
