Description reinerg61 2004-07-07 02:46:35 UTC 
When opening a Unicode file, the input box allows one to specify a default 
font.  Unfortunately, most fonts do not contain the entire set of Unicode 
glyphs.  Characters not in the font are invisible.  The user is not even aware 
of the problem.

If possible, there could be a section in Tools:Options to specify an ordered 
list of fonts to use as a fallback. If the glyph is not found, try the next 
font in the list.  This would be a sort of composite font (this scheme would 
probably only work with scalable fonts)

If a list of fonts is not possible, the user should have some indication that a 
glyph is not being displayed.

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
