Hi Glen,

I'm working on translating the Math FAQs from French and have discovered
that both Math and Writer only display a subset of the displayable
characters in any given font.
For instance, the double arrow character ⇄ (unicode 21c4) exists in a
number of fonts, and can be inserted by typing CTRL+u21c4, yet it
doesn't show up in Writer's Insert->Special Character or Math's
Catalog->Edit windows.
Does anyone know why there's only a subset? Is it arbitrary, or perhaps
chosen to mimic the subset shown in MS Word?
No. The Insert Special Character dialog does only show those characters
which are really contained in the font. It does not consider any
character replacement. So to get the character ⇄ (unicode 21c4) you have
to choose a font which contains it, for example "DejaVu Sans".
Kind regards
Regina
