Comment 3 for bug 239010

I think this may actually be a bug in the Bitstream Vera Sans font. The way OOo works is it only shows glyphs for a font in the special character menu if they exist in the font. Which explains the gap in the font for 2248 -> 2260. However some are showing up as the blank box glyph. I am not certain but it may be that the font claims to have a glyph for that character but doesn't actually have one.

Reassigning to ttf-bitstream-vera to have someone look into the font to see if it is actually claiming (somehow?) to have glyphs for characters it doesn't have glyphs for. If it isn't, then it might be possible there is a bug in OOo that causes it to only show the blank box (null glyph box) for some characters but not others.

Thanks,

Chris
